A Little Diet Humor
You may or may not have already heard the joke below but even if you have please read it again.
Now-a-days we all sound like Adam & Eve. In the 50’s a small bottle of soda was 6 ounces, it then grew to 7 ounces in the late 60’s, now a small bottle of soda is 16 ounces. 10 ounces more than what would have satisfied someone during the 60’s and on top of that you would only have soda as a treat, not as an everyday item.
No wonder we keep on gaining weight!
Take a look at what you eat. Do you always have extra items on your salad? Cheese, croutons and fried chicken strips can add over 800 calories to what would have been a good diet meal. This doesn’t even count the rich, creamy dressing.
If you get back to basics for just 2 weeks, you will see a difference in your clothes. I’m not even saying go on a strict diet, just cut out all the extra items you eat daily.

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 Kreme 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 th e 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 you 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 r oof.
God then created a light, fluffy white cake, 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 control so Man
would not 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 them. 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. Then 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.
