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 Satan said "You want 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 joghurt 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 them with Blue Cheese dressing and garlic croutons
on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts and
followed this repast.
God then said "I have sent you healthy and olive oil
in which to to cook them". And Satan brought forth
deep fried coconut king prawns, butter-dipped lobster chunks
and chicken fried steak, so big that it needed its own platter.
And Man's cholesteral 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 channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried
before the flickering light and started to wear 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. And Satan said
"You want fries with that ?"
and Man replied "Yes and supersize 'em". And Satan
said "It is good" And Man and Woman went into
cardiac arrrest.
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 and French 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.
CONCLUSION :
Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently
what kills you !
