More truth than fiction

In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli,
cauliflower and spinach, with green, 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 Dairy Ice
Cream and Magnums. And Satan said, 'You want hot fudge with that? And
Man said, 'Yes!' And Woman said, 'I'll have one too with chocolate
chips'. And lo they gained 10 pounds.

And God created the healthy yoghurt 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 12 to
size 14.




So God said, 'Try my fresh green salad'. And Satan
presented Blue Cheese dressing and garlic croutons on the side. And Man
and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.

God then said 'I have sent you healthy vegetables and
olive oil in which to cook them'.

And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns,
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 healthy skin and sliced the
starchy centre 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.




Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer
calories and still satisfy his appetite.

And Satan created McDonalds and the 99p 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 the


National Health Service.




THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION

After an exhaustive review of the research literature,
here's the final word on nutrition and health.:

1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart
attacks than us.

2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart
attacks than us.

3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer
heart attacks than us.

4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer
fewer heart attacks than us.

5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats
and suffer fewer heart attacks than us..

6. The French eat foie-Gras, full fat cheese and drink red
wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English
is apparently what kills you.
