The Battle

And God populated the earth with broccoli and cauliflower and
spinach, green and yellow vegetables of all kinds, so man would live
a long and healthy life.

But Satan created McDonald's. And McDonald's brought forth the double
cheeseburger.

And McDonald's said to man, "You want fries with that?"

And man said "Supersize them" and man gained pounds.

And God said, "Try my 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 steak so big that 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.

So man watched others exercise and man gained pounds.

And God brought forth the potato, a vegetable low in fat and brimming
with nutrition.

But Satan created deep fried potatoes called potato chips (crisps)
and dips in which to plunge them.

And man clutched his remote control and ate the potato chips swaddled
in fat and cholesterol,

It tasted good, but man went into cardiac arrest.

And God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.

But Satan controlled the health care system.
