Something to think about.

Castlegar, BC(Zone 6b)

I posted this in the Health, Dieting and Beauty Forum for all of us "Weight Watchers", but thought everyone might benefit from pondering this...

Quoting:
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 Man and Woman would live long and
healthy lives.

Then, using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Queen and
Tim Horton's. And Satan said: "You want hot fudge with that?"

And Man said: "Yes!" And Woman said: "I'll have one too...with sprinkles."

And lo and behold 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 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 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 The American Health Care System.
