And God Created...

Dietary Genesis
--------------------------------------------------------------

In the beginning, God covered 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 bountiful gifts, Satan created ice cream and
doughnuts. And Satan said, "You want hot fudge with that?" And
Man said "Yes!" and Woman said, "I'll have another with
sprinkles." And so they gained 10 pounds.

So God said, "Try my fresh green salad."

And Satan presented crumbled Bleu Cheese 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 vegetable and
olive oil in which to lightly saut? the wholesome vegetables."

And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut shrimp, chicken-fried
steak so big it needed its own platter and chocolate cheesecake
for dessert. And Man's glucose levels spiked through the roof.

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 brought forth lean meat so that Man might consume fewer
calories and still satisfy his appetite.

And Satan created the 99-cent double cheeseburger, and said,
"You want fries with that?" And Man replied, "Yes! And super
size 'em!" And Man went into cardiac arrest.

God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.

And Satan created HMOs.
