Posted inHumorNo Comments

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 there was ice cream for dessert. And Woman gained pounds.

And God said “I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil with which to cook them.”
