In the beginning, God created the Heavens and
the Earth and populated the Earth with
broccoli,cauliflower and spinach, green and
yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and
Woman would live long and healthy lives.
Then using God's great gifts,Satan created Ben and Jerry's Ice
Cream and Donuts. And Satan said, "You
want chocolate with that?" And Man said, "Yes!" and
Woman said, "and as long as you're at it, add some
sprinkles." And they gained 10 pounds. And Satan
smiled.
And God created the healthful yogurt
that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so
fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the
wheat, and sugar from the cane and combined them. And
Woman went from size 6 to size 14.
So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan
presented Thousand-Island Dressing,
buttery croutons and garlic toast on the side. And
Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the
repast.
God then said, "I have sent you heart healthy
vegetables and olive oil in which to
cook them." And Satan brought forth deep fried fish
and chicken-friedsteak so big it needed its own
platter. And Man gained more weight and his cholesterol went
through the roof.
God then created a light, fluffy
white cake, named it"Angel Food Cake," and said, "It is
good." Satan thencreated chocolate cake and named it
"Devil's Food."
God then brought forth running shoes so that His
children might lose those extra pounds.
And Satan gave cable TV with a remote control so
Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And
Man and Woman laughed and cried before the
flickering blue light and gained pounds.
Then God brought forth the potato,
naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition And
Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the
starchy center into chips and deep-fried them. And Man
gained pounds.
God then gave lean beef so that Man
might consumefewer calories and still satisfy his
appetite. AndSatan created McDonald's and its
99-cent doublecheeseburger. Then said, "You want
fries with that?"And Man replied, "Yes! And super
size them!" And Satan said, "It is good."
And Man went into cardiac arrest.
God sighed, and created quadruple
bypass surgery.
