"The Fatitudes"

I recieved this in my email this morning, thought it was hilarious,

and had to share it.



In the beginning, God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower

and spinach, with green and 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 Ben and Jerry's

and Krispy Kreme. And Satan said: "You want hot fudge with that?"

And Man said: "Yes!"

And Woman said: "I'll have one, too...with sprinkles."

And they gained 10 pounds.



And God created the healthful yogurt 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 2 to size 14.



So God said: "Try my fresh green garden salad."



And Satan presented crumbled Bleu Cheese dressing and garlic toast

on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following

the repast.



God then said: "I have sent you heart-healthy vegetables

and olive oil in which to cook them."



And Satan brought forth deep-fried coconut shrimp, butter-dipped

lobster chunks, and chicken-fried steak sobig 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 healthful skin, sliced the starchy center

into chips and deep-fried them in animal fats, adding copious

quantities of salt. And Man packed on more pounds.



God then brought forth running shoes so that his children

might lose those extra pounds.



And Satan introduced 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 stretchy

lycra jogging suits.



God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories

and still satisfy his appetite.



And Satan created McDonald's and the 99-cent 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.



Satan chuckled and created HMOs....
