A nutritionist was addressing a large audience in Toronto.
“The food we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most
of us years ago,” she said. “Fast food is full of salt. Soft drinks
erode your stomach lining. Chinese food can be loaded with MSG.
There are trans fats in snack foods, and none of us realizes the
long-term harm caused by the bacteria 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?”
From the back row came an elderly voice.
“Wedding cake?”
