Even the Pope needs to diet sometimes!

[UrbScotty]

Pope Francis has been told by Vatican doctors to lay off the pasta, after gaining weight since being elected as head of the Roman Catholic Church two years ago.

The 78-year-old Argentinian pontiff has appeared noticeably more upholstered during public appearances over the last few months, with doctors ascribing the weight gain to too much spaghetti and ravioli and not enough exercise.

Vatican doctors told Ansa, Italy's national news agency, that the Pope needs to adopt a more "disciplined" regimen in order to try to combat the stress and strain that he is under as the leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics.

They have advised him to eat pasta no more than two times a week.

Hey, you can't blame him for eating so much pasta!

1. Yeah I know.

I love Italian food. Especially when it's actual Italian food from the motherland, enjoyed in the motherland. Their food is so delicious and I think it's actually healthier than what we have here.
