In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and
populated the Earth with broccoli, 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 Ice Cream
and Krispy Creme 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, named it "Angel Food Cake," 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 blue 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 its
99-cent double cheeseburger. 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.
God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery. Then Satan
created HMOs.
