In the beginning...
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 HMO'S.
