Indulgences, God vs the devil

I've seen this before, but still find it completely hilarious!!

In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflowerand spinach, with green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Manand Woman would live long and healthy lives. Then using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Ice Cream andMagnums. And Satan said "You want hot fudge with that? And Man said"Yes!" And Woman said "I'll have one too with chocolate chips". Andso they gained 10 pounds.

And God created the healthy yoghurt that Woman might keep thefigure that Man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar fromthe 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 Cheesedressing and garlic croutons on the side. And Man and Woman unfastenedtheir belts following the repast.

God then said "I have sent you healthy vegetables and olive oil in whichto cook them".
And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns, butter-dippedlobster 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 andbrimming with potassium and good nutrition. Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin and sliced the starchycentre into chips and deep fried them in animal fats adding copiousquantities of salt. And Man put on more pounds.

God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children mightlose those extra pounds. And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so Manwould not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughedand cried before the flickering light and started wearing stretch joggingsuits.

Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer caloriesand still satisfy his appetite.
And Satan created McDonalds and the 99p double cheeseburger. ThenSatan said "You want fries with that?" and Man replied "Yes, And supersize 'em". And Satan said "It is good." And Man and Woman went intocardiac arrest.

God sighed ......... and created quadruple by-pass surgery.
And then ............ Satan chuckled and created Medicare.

THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITIONAfter an exhaustive review of the research literature, here's thefinal 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 attacksthan us.

4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heartattacks than us.

5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewerheart attacks than us.

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