This whimsical one has been making the rounds lately...
In The Beginning....
God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the Earth with
broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, green, yellow and red vegetables of all
kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.
Then Satan created Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and Krispy Kreme Donuts.
And Satan said, "You want chocolate with that?" And Man said "Yes!" And
Woman said, "and as long as you're at it, add some sprinkles." And they
gained 10 pounds. And Satan smiled.
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 6 to size 14.
So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan presented
Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons 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 created a light, fluffy white cake and named it "Angel Food",
and said "it is good." Satan then created chocolate cake and named it
"Devil's Food".
God then brought forth running shoes so that His children might lose
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 beautiful skin and sliced the
starchy center into chips and deep-fried them And Man gained pounds.
God then gave lean meat so that Man might consume fewer calories and
still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created fast-food restaurants with
99-cent double cheeseburgers. Then said, "You want fries with that?"
And Man replied, "Yes! And super-size them!" And Satan said, "It is good."
And Man went into cardiac arrest.
And God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.
.....and Satan smiled as he created HMOs
