In the beginning God populated the earth with broccoli and 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 and Krispy Creme.
And Satan said, "You want chocolate with that?" And Man said "Yea." and woman said, "And another one
with sprinkles." And 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 16.
So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan presented Thousand-Island 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 fish and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter. And
man gained more weight and his cholesterol went through the roof.
God then brought running shoes so that his children might loose 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 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 it's 99-cent double cheeseburger. Then said, "You want fries with
that?" And man replied, "Yea! And super size 'em." And Satan said "It is good." And man went into
cardiac arrest.
God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery...and Satan created HMOs.
