Not exactly a story, but more truth in it than we would want to admit! <g> Sorry, arrived by email, so I do not know wrote it.
IN THE BEGINNING....
In the beginning...God covered the earth with
broccoli, cauliflower, and spinach, with green and
yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and
Woman would live long and healthy lives.
Then using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Ben
and Jerry's and Krispy Kreme.
And Satan said: "You want hot fudge with that?"
And Man said: "Yes!"
And Woman said: "I'll have one too ...with sprinkles."
And lo they gained 10 pounds.
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 2 to size 14.
So God said: "Try my fresh green garden salad."
And Satan presented crumbled Bleu Cheese dressing 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 coconut shrimp,
butter-dipped lobster chunks, and chicken-fried
steak--so big it needed its own platter.
And Man's cholesterol went through the roof.
Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in
fat and brimming with potassium and good nutrition.
Then Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced
the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them in
animal fats adding copious quantities of salt.
And Man put on more pounds.
God then brought forth running shoes so that his
Children might lose those extra pounds.
And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote
control so Man would not have to toil changing the
channels.
And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the
flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging
suits.
God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume
fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite.
And Satan created McDonald's and the 99-cent double
cheeseburger.
Then Satan said: "You want fries with that?"
And Man replied: "Yes! And super size 'em!"
And Satan said: "It is good."
And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest.
God sighed...and created quadruple by-pass surgery.
And then...Satan chuckled and created HMOs. |
