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 fois-gras, full fat cheese and drink red wine and
suffer fewer heart attacks than us
CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English appears to be
what kills you.
