I couldn't resist

I know I said I wouldn't do this from work anymore, but this is too cool to pass up. (I considered putting it in the recipe thread - nah!)

God vs. Satan

"And God populated the earth with broccoli and cauliflower and spinach and green
and yellow vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.
And Satan created McDonald's. And McDonald's brought forth the 99-cent double-cheeseburger. And Satan said to Man, "You want fries with that?". And Man said, "Super size them." And Man gained pounds.

And God created the healthful yogurt, that woman might keep her figure that man found so fair. And Satan froze the yogurt, and he brought forth chocolate, nuts and brightly colored sprinkle candy to put on the yogurt. And woman gained pounds.
And God said, "Try my crispy fresh salad." And Satan brought forth creamy dressings, bacon bits, and shredded cheese. And there was ice cream for dessert. And woman gained pounds.

And God said, "I have sent your heart healthy vegetables and olive oil with which to cook them." And Satan brought forth chicken-fried steak from Cracker Barrel so big it needed
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.
And Satan brought forth cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil to change channels between ESPN and ESPN2. And Man gained pounds.

And God said, "You're running up the score, Devil." And God brought forth the potato, a vegetable naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fat fried them. And he created sour cream dip also. And Man clutched his remote control and ate the potato chips swaddled in cholesterol. And Satan saw and said, "It is good." And Man went into cardiac arrest.

And God sighed, and created quadruple bypass surgery, angioplasties, and
stints . . . .

And Satan created HMO's..."

Everyone at school thought it was hilarious. I gave it to one of my friends who teaches math and she read it to her class of 7th graders and they were rolling in the aisles. We decided that it was a sad state of affairs when 7th graders understand the concept of the "evil" HMOs. Even my atheist friend thought it was funny with the added comment of, "That is if you believe in God and Satan." lol I also passed it out in team plan and we all got our Wednesday before Thanksgiving laugh.
