It was early Saturday morning. A new grocery store was

having a "Grand Opening" and offering FREE food. A line had

started.



First in line was Henry Hyperson, an insurance salesman in his

forties. Puffing a cigarette, he was nervously tapping his

foot. His casual clothes just hung on his skinny frame. His

breathing was short and quick. Impatiently, he was fidgeting

his cigarette from hand to hand.



Second in line was Carol Calmton, a physical education teacher

in her thirties. Standing erect her hands were behind her.

She had a confident smile on her peaceful serene face. Slim,

she had an athletic figure. Her clothes showed good taste.



Third in line was Fanny Floppy, a housewife in her twenties.

Yawning and sniffling, she had a cold. Her complexion was

broken out with pimples and blackheads. The heavy woman had

a loud sneeze. She wiped her nose on her sleeve. Then she

scratched her head through her curlers. Slouching she looked

tired and bored. Her dress was too tight and her slip was

showing. Billy, 5 and Susy 7, were hanging on her slip.



The manager opened the door and announced the first three

people in line won a FREE cart full of food.



Jumping up and down, Henry was ecstatic and emotional. He

hugged the manager and wanted to run and tell his wife. But

he would lose his place in line. Everyone had to calm him down.

Carol appreciated the opportunity and thanked the manager.

Smiling, she was grateful and went in to fill her cart. She

had a list in hand. Shrugging and yawning, Fanny didn't think

it was a big deal. Scratching her rear end, she sniffled. T

ired, she wondered in. Billy and Susy were all excited jumping

up and down, and pulling their Mother to move faster.



In the meat section, Henry grabbed the hamburger, pork chops,

steak, sausage, bacon, spare ribs. In the frozen food section

he took fish sticks, tater tots, pies, lasagna, ravioli, waffles,

onion rings, pizza. He picked up sugar, rolls, muffins, danish.

Then it was anchovies, olives, salt, pepper, pickles, mustard.

Next he picked up canned peas and corn. In the dairy case he got

processed cheese food, eggs, milk. After that he took, potato

chips, snickers, beer, coffee, 5 cartons of cigarettes, coca

cola, vodka, tacos, alka seltzer, sominex, anacin.



First, Carol got raisins, walnuts, sunflower seeds, honey, whole

wheat flour, herb teas, orange juice and cranberry juice. From

the meat section, she picked up chicken, haddock, flounder, and

shrimp. From the dairy case, she got skim milk, cottage cheese,

yogurt. Her last stop was in the produce section; potatoes,

tomatoes, carrots, beets, lettuce, squash, onions, mushrooms,

broccoli, cauliflower, peaches, bananas, grapes, grapefruit,

apples, oranges, peaches.



In the dairy case, Fanny grabbed the butter, whipped cream,

chocolate milk, whole milk. Then she picked up ham, hot dogs,

sausage, bologna, hamburger. In the frozen food section, she

got tv dinners, pot pies, coffee cakes, french fries, ice cream.

Then it was wonder bread, cheese puffs, donuts, cookies. Her

cereals included Fruit loops & Sugar Smacks. After that she

grabbed the spaghetti, instant potato mix, gravy mix, Jell-O,

kool aid, soda pop, ding dongs, crackers, miracle whip, jelly,

fritos. After all that, she had to get Rolaids, Bayer, Comtrex,

contact, laxatives, diet pills.



As they came to the check out counter, the manager noticed what

was in their carts and their behavior. Henry was in a hurry and

searching for his cigarettes. Carol thanked him again. Fanny

was slowly bringing up the rear with her kids pulling on her.



Cocking his head, the manager was sure their food choices affected

their appearance and behavior. Which one are you and which would one

would you like to be like?



Three different kinds of foods affect you differently. Stimulants

(meats & spices) are addictive and can make you nervous, high

strung, and hyper. Imitation, junk, overripe, rotten foods can

leave you feeling lazy, lethargic, and susceptible to illnesses.

Real food from nature are the best, leaving you healthy and

relaxed.
