And God Created

[alvino]

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

rispy

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 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 Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest.

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

And then...Satan chuckled and created HMOs.

Pretty much says it all, doesn't it.

Hmm... Everything Satan creates in this story was created in which country I wonder...??
