The Creation: Like You've Never Heard it Before

NEVER HEARD THE CREATION EXPLAINED THIS WAY BEFORE!!!

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

Then using God’s great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream and Krispy Crème Donuts and Satan said, “You want chocolate with that?”

And Man said, “Yes!” and Woman said, “And as long as you’re at it, add some sprinkles.” And they gained 10 pounds and Satan smiled.

And God created the healthful yogurt 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 6 to size 14.

So God said, “Try my fresh green salad.” And Satan presented Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons, and garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.

God then said, “I have sent heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them.” And Satan brought forth deep fried fish and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter. And Man gained more weight and his cholesterol went through the roof.

God then created a light; fluffy white cake and named it “Angel Food Cake,” and said, “It is good.”

Satan then created chocolate cake and named it “Devil’s Food.”

God then brought forth running shoes so that his children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan gave cable TV with a remote so Man would have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue light and gained pounds.

Then god brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried then. And Man gained pounds.

God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald’s and its .99 cent double cheeseburger. Satan said, “You want fries with that?” And Man replied, “Yes! And super size them!” And Satan said, “It is good.” And Man went into cardiac arrest.

God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.

Then Satan smiled and created HMO’s

That's funny. I feel like I constantly have a devil and an angel on my shoulder. Salad is good for you...but a cheeseburger tastes so much better!! Loved it.

Brandi-
Your grandma Margret is the one that shared that one in R.S. Sunday and my mom emailed it to me. I agree. I am trying to do better but I am a junk food junkie, big time. I get harassed by Kyle, Shelley and my Mom all of the time but the truth is when they want something sweet they all come running to my house because they know they can find it here.
