Topic: How it all started.......
In the beginning, God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower andspinach, combined with an abundance of green, yellow and red
vegetables.
He did this so that Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.
Then, using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Whip and Peter's
Ice Cream.
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 and behold they
gained 10 pounds.
And so God created the healthful yoghurt 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 10 to size 18.
So God said: "Try my fresh green garden salad." And Satan presented
Crumbled Blue 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 calamari
rings, butter-dipped lobster chunks, and fried chicken 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, sliced the starchy centre into chips and deep-fried them in
animal fats adding copious quantities of salt laden with 'free running'
chemicals. And Man packed on more pounds.
God then brought forth running shoes so that his children might lose
those extra pounds. And Satan introduced 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, electromagnetic light and
started wearing stretchy lycra 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 double
cheeseburger. Then Satan said: "You want fries with that?" And
Man replied: Yes! And super size them!" And Satan said "It is good."
And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest.
God sighed . . . and created quadruple by-pass surgery.
Satan chuckled and created The Public Health System.
