GOD, THE DEVIL & FAT

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.
6. The French eat foie-Gras, full fat cheese and drink red wine and suffer
fewer heart attacks than us

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Learn a foreign language!

Oh you sweetie!

I couldn't give a hoot to be honest - but thanks anyway.  How are you?  I'm just home from a concert and am going to attempt sleeping[:)]

Very funny. Just wish it wasn't true!

Twinkle where have you been? Is Katie still living in Paris?

[TWINKLE]

Hi!

I've been here all of the time - just bored with the forum[:$]  I'm a Facebook freak now and play Scrabble online worldwide (yeah!) very Rock'n'Roll!

I start working for l'Education Nationale in September - really looking forward to that (a grown-up person job!) I have some nice gigs this summer and my neices are coming to stay too so my daughter is happy[:)]

Had lunch with Pads and some of the other forum members who live in the area a few weeks ago - really nice.

Katie is still in Paris - she loves it there, I saw her at the beginning of the month here for a mini festival.

How are you sweetie?

Hi Twinks... snap about facebook! I've managed to find so many old friends but so far I've managed to avoid playing scrabble... I've heard it's too addictive!

Very good to hear Katie is doing so well and is happy in Paris. In regards to Facebook that is why I have vowed to never take more than a peak at it.

Congratulations on your new position! It does sound very sober and grown up but also sounds very exciting and prestigious. I think it may call for a name change. Perhaps a double barrel name like Twinklewinkle?[:D]
