Subject: Good vs Evil
In the beginning God populated the earth with broccoli and
cauliflower and spinach, and green and yellow and red vegetables
of all kinds, so man and woman would live long and healthy lives.
Then Satan created Ben and Jerry's and Krispy Creme. And Satan said, "You want chocolate with that?" And man said "Oh Yea." and woman said, "And another one with lots of sprinkles." And they gained 20 pounds.
So God created the healthful yogurt so that woman might keep
the hourglass figure that man found so fair. Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane, combined them, and created the Eclair. And woman went from size 10 to size 18.
So God said, "Better try my fresh green salad." Satan presented Thousand-Island Dressing and garlic toast on the side. And man and woman unfastened their bulging belts.
God then said, "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them." Satan brought forth deep fried fish and chips, and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter. And man & woman gained more weight and their cholesterol went through the roof.
God then brought running shoes so that man & woman might loose those extra pounds. Satan gave them 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 light and gained more pounds.
Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them.
God gave them lean beef so they might consume fewer calories and still satisfy their big appetites. Satan created McDonald's and it's 99-cent double cheeseburger. Then said, "You want fries with that?" and man replied, "Oh Yea! And super size'em." And Satan said "This is good." and man went into cardiac arrest.
God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery. Satan created HMOs.
The battle continues......
