Supersize Calories
And God
populated the earth with broccoli and cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow vegetables
of all kinds, so Man would live long and healthy lives. But Satan created McDonalds. And
McDonalds brought forth the 99-cent double cheeseburger. And McDonalds said to Man,
“You want fries with that?” And Man
said,
“Supersize them." And Man
gained pounds.
And God said,
“Try my crispy fresh salad.” But Satan created ice cream. And man gained
pounds.
And God said,
“I have sent thee heart-healthy vegetables and olive oil with which to
cook them.” But Satan created chicken-fried steak so big it needs its own platter.
And Man gained pounds and his bad cholesterol went through the roof.
And God brought forth running shoes and Man resolved to lose those extra pounds. But Satan
created cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil to change channels
between ESPN and ESPN2. So Man watched others exercise and Man gained pounds.
And God brought forth the potato, a vegetable naturally low in fat and brimming with
nutrition. But Satan created deep-fat fried potatoes called potato chips and sour cream
dip. And Man clutched his remote control and ate the potato chips swaddled in cholesterol.
It tasted good but Man went into cardiac arrest.
And God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.
But Satan ran B.C. Health Care...
