More From My Inbox

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

combined with an abundance of green, yellow and red vegetables. He did this so
that men & women would live long and healthy lives.

Then, using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Fonterra, Kentucky fried, Pizza
Hut and Star Bucks for doughnut dunking. And Satan said, "You want hot fudge
with that?" And Man said, "Yes!" And Woman said; "I'll have one too... with
sprinkles." And low and behold they gained 5 Kilos.

And God created the healthful yoghurt that Woman might keep her 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 16 or more.

God said, " Try my fresh green garden salad."

And Satan added crumbled Blue cheese dressing and garlic toast on the side. And
Man & Woman unfastened their belts and enjoyed 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 crayfish
chunks, and breast of chicken, fried in batter. He then produced steaks so big
each needed its own platter. And Man's cholesterol went through the roof.

Then God brought forth potatoes, naturally low in fat and brimming with
potassium and good nutrition.

Satan peeled off the healthful skin, sliced the starchy centre into chips and
deep-fried them in animal fats. He then enhanced the taste by adding copious
quantities of salt. And Man packed on more kilos.

God then brought forth running shoes so that his children might lose those extra
kilos.

And Satan introduced remote controls on television sets so Man would not have to
exert himself to change channels. And Man & Woman laughed and cried before the
flickering light and started wearing stretchy lycra jogging suits.

God then gave lean beef so Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy
his appetite.

And Satan created McDonalds and the double cheeseburger. Then Satan said, "You
want fries with that?" And Man replied. "Yes! And super size them; it is good".
And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest.

God sighed and created quadruple by-pass surgery.

Satan chuckled and created the Australian Health Service system.
