A dietician was once addressing a large audience in Chicago.
"The material we put into our stomachs
is enough to have killed most of us sitting here,
years ago. Red meat is awful. Soft drinks erode
your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with
MSG. Vegetables can be disastrous, and none of
us realizes the long-term harm caused by the
germs in our drinking water. But there is one thing
that is the most dangerous of all and we all have,
or will, eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food
it is that causes the most grief and suffering for
years after eating it?
A 75-year-old geezer in the front row stood up and
said, "Wedding cake!"
