In The Beginning....

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 Krispy Creme 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-fried steak so big it
needed its own platter. And Man gainedmore 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 then created 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 consume fewer
calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created
McDonald's and its 99-cent double cheeseburger. 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.

Then Satan created HMOs.
