Greetings from Panama! after receiving this poem from a friend a few days ago I thought it is so true and funny at the same time, that I have to share it with you.
Although I do not know the name of the author, I will give him/her full credit for it :)
Enjoy!
In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the
Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli,
cauliflower, and spinach, green and yellow and red
vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would
live long and healthy lives.
Then, using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and
Jerry's Ice Cream and Krispy Kreme Donuts. And Satan
said, "You want chocolate with that?"
And Man said, "Yes!" and Woman said, "and as long as
you're at it, add some sprinkles." And they gained 10
pounds. And Satan smiled.
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 6 to size 14.
So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan
presented Thousand-Island dressing, buttery croutons
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 fish and chicken-fried
steak so big it needed its own platter. And Man
gained more weight and his cholesterol went through
the roof.
God then created a light, fluffy white cake, named it
"Angel Food Cake," and said, "It is good." Satan then
created chocolate cake and named it "Devil's Food."
God then brought forth running shoes so that His
children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan gave
cable TV with a remote control so Man would not have
to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman
laughed and cried before the flickering blue light and
gained pounds.
Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in
fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off
the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into
chips and deep-fried them. And Man gained pounds.
God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume
fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan
created McDonald's and its $ .99 double cheeseburger.
Then said, "You want fries with that?" And Man
replied, "Yes! And super-size them!" And Satan said,
"It is good."
And Man went into cardiac arrest.
God sighed and created quadruple-bypass surgery.
Then Satan created HMOs
