This has prolly been around, but got this via email this a.m.
In the beginning--God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower, and
spinach, with green and yellow and red vegetables 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 so 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
Bleu 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 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
sliced 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 lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still
satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald's and the 99-cent double
cheeseburger. Then Satan said: "You want fries with that?" And Man replied:
"Yes! And super size 'em!" And Satan said: "It is good." And Man and Woman
went into cardiac arrest.
God sighed--and created quadruple by-pass surgery.
And then Satan chuckled--and created HMOs
