In The Beginning......

[Guest guest]

In the beginning....God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and

spinach, with green and yellow and red vegetable 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 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 coconut shrimp, butter-dipped lobster chunks

and chicken-fried steak...so big that 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 slicked 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 them lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still

satisfy his appetite.

And Satan created Mc's and the 99 cent double cheeseburger. Then Satan

said:

You want fries with that?

And Man replied:

Yes, And super size 'em!

And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest.

God sighed....and created quadruple by-pass surgery.

And then...Satan chuckled and created HMOs.
