TWINKLE Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 GOD, THE DEVIL & FAT In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower andspinach, with green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and Womanwould 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!' AndWoman said, 'I'll have one too with chocolate chips'. And lo they gained 10pounds.And God created the healthy yoghurt that woman might keep the figure thatman found so fair.And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar from the caneand 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 unfastened theirbelts following the repast.God then said 'I have sent you healthy vegetables and olive oil in which tocook 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 and brimming withpotassium and good nutrition.Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin and sliced the starchy centre intochips 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 hisChildren might lose those extra pounds.And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so Man would nothave to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and criedbefore the flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging suits.Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and stillsatisfy 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'. AndSatan 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 HealthService. THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITIONAfter an exhaustive review of the research literature, here's the final wordon 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 heartattacks than us... 5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewerheart attacks than us. 6. The French eat foie-Gras, full fat cheese and drink red wine and sufferfewer heart attacks than usCONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Learn a foreign language!

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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
