Nutrition

[Lynn Bodoni]

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.


CONCLUSION:

Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.XXX
