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 Kreme. 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
6. 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 its 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.
