Â
And God populated the earth with broccoli and
cauliflower and spinach and green and yellow vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman
would live long and healthy lives. And Satan created McDonald's. And McDonald's brought
forth the 99-cent double-cheeseburger. And Satan said to Man, "You want fries with
that?" And Man said, "Super size them." And Man gained pounds.
And God created the healthful yogurt, that woman might keep her figure that man
found so fair. And Satan froze the yogurt, and he brought forth chocolate, nuts and
brightly colored sprinkle candy to put on the yogurt. And woman gained pounds. Â
And God said, "Try my crispy fresh salad." And Satan brought forth creamy
dressings, bacon bits, and shredded cheese. And there was ice cream or dessert. And woman
gained pounds. Â
And God said, "I
have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil with which to cook them."Â
And Satan brought forth chicken-fried steak from Cracker Barrel so big it needed its own platter And Man gained pounds, and
his bad cholesterol went through the roof.Â
And God brought forth running shoes, and Man resolved to lose those extra pounds. And
Satan brought forth cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil to change
channels between ESPN and ESPN2. And Man gained pounds.
And God said, "You're running up the score, Devil." And God brought forth  the potato,
a vegetable naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the
healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fat fried them. And he
created sour cream dip also. And Man clutched his remote control and ate the potato
chips swaddled in cholesterol. And Satan saw and said, "It is good." And Man
went into cardiac arrest.
And God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery..... And Satan created HMOs...
