Food For Grief And Suffering
A dietitian
was once addressing a large audience in Vancouver.
“The material we put into our
stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago.”
“Red meat is awful. Soft drinks erode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded
with MSG. Vegetables can be truly disastrous, and none of us realizes the long-term harm
caused by the germs in our drinking water.”
“But there
is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all have, or will, eat it.
Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering
for years after eating it?”
A 75-year-old man in the front row stood up and said,
“Wedding
cake.”
