If it had only stopped at the vegetables we'd all be fine ...



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!!!
