In …the beginning God covered …the earth with … broccoli and 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 bountiful gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's and Krispy Kreme. And Satan said, "You want … hot fudge with that?" And Man said "Yes!" and Woman said, "I'll have another with sprinkles."

And God created … healthful yogurt that Woman might keep …the figure that Man found so fair.

And Satan brought forth … white flour from … wheat, and sugar from … cane, and combined them. And Woman went from … size 2 to … size 10.

So God said, "Try my fresh green 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 your 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.

God then brought forth … running shoes so that his creatures might lose … extra pounds.

And Satan came forth with … cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil changing …the channels. And man and woman laughed and cried in front of …the flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging suits.

Then God brought forth …the potato, naturally low in … fat and brimming with potassium and good nutrition.

Then Satan peeled off …the healthful skin and sliced …the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them in animal fats and added copious quantities of … salt. And Man put on more pounds.

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 Lucifer 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.

And Satan created HMOs. (Health Maintenance Organizations)

Amen
