and Man Gained Pounds
======================

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 fast food.  And fast food 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 you heart healthy vegetables and
olive oil with which to cook them.”

And Satan brought forth chicken-fried steak in the restaurant so
big it needed its own platter.  And Man gained pounds, and his
bad cholesterol went through the roof.

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…..

And Satan created HMOs…

10 Dirtiest Foods That Can Make You Sick
=========================================

Open your refrigerator.  Take a good look inside.  Chances are
you have some of the dirtiest-and most dangerous-foods in there.
Eat them and you could get very sick.

Men’s Health magazine has identified the 10 dirtiest foods from
bad burgers and dangerous deli meats to hazardous health foods.

The Dirty 10:
1. Chicken: In one study cited by Men’s Health, more than 40
percent of chicken samples contained bacteria that can sicken,
including E. coli.

2. Ground Beef: Simply because of the way ground beef is made
through heavy processing, it has the potential to be loaded with
deadly E. coli bacteria and more.

3. Ground Turkey: One in four packages of ground turkey tested
by Men’s Health contained bacteria.  This becomes a greater
concern as more people substitute ground turkey for ground beef
thinking it’s a healthier alternative.

4. Oysters: Beware of raw oysters!  Many are tainted not only
with bacteria, but also the Norovirus.

5. Eggs: The incredible edible egg is also associated with more
than 600,000 cases of food poisoning each year and more than 300
deaths.  Cook eggs completely and never eat them raw.

6. Cantaloupe: Cantaloupe rinds often contain dangerous bacteria
that are hard to wash away.  Cut through that rind with a knife
and the bacteria can be transferred to the fruit.

7. Peaches: This favorite juicy summer fruit is dangerous
because the peach fuzz makes it difficult to clean off all the
pesticides.

8. Pre-Packaged Tossed Salads: These bagged salads are one of
the greatest conveniences of the past decade, but they can also
be one of the biggest sources of food poisoning since the
contents are often contaminated with E. Coli, according to Men’s
Health.

9. Cold Cuts: It looks like delicious shaved ham or turkey to
you.  But it could contain the dangerous bacteria Listeria,
which is especially risky for infants and the elderly.  Listeria
can be spread by the deli slicer, and it can even grow in a cold
refrigerator.  What can you do?  Experts advise you to transfer
the deli meat to a fresh package when you get home and only buy
enough for one week at a time.

10. Scallions: If these green onions are left uncooked, they
have the potential to become bacterial breeding grounds.
They’ve also been linked to fatal outbreaks of Hepatitis-A.
