At last, an explanation!



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.

    I just got a private message from God (bet you didn't know he was an MFP member) he's eating a stack of ribs right now and laughing at all of us. Rub-a-dub-dub-thanks-for-the-grub.

    Well that certainly explains why Americans as a whole are so ridiculously overweight!

    That did give me a good laugh...but it's still so sad.

    what cause there are no fat people in other countries? you obviously don't travel much. I think America is obese more so from lack of exercise more so then what we do or don't eat. Thats just my opinion. I'm sure alot of other people would prove me wrong with facts and non-sense. But what i've noticed is that alot of under-weight people in other countries are just as bad off with a lack of good eating habits and good dietery/nutritional standards. Of course most 3rd World countries have such a short-life span anyway, I think whether they eat McDonalds and don't use a stair-master is the least of their concerns.

    We have it TOO good would probably be the problem. Laziness is a killer.

    Gravey in Heaven? wooo.... one could only hope and pray.
