Learn French and be healthy

[Bob T]

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.  Speaking English is apparently

what kills you.
