A dietitian is addressing a large audience.

“The stuff we put into our stomachs is enough to kill most of us sitting here. Red meat gives us high cholesterol. Soft drinks erode our stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. vegetables can be disastrous due to chemicals and pesticides used on them, and we have to put up with long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water.”

“But, there is one that is the most dangerous of all and we all have, or will, eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?”

A 75-year-old man in the back row stands up to say: “My wedding cake.”
