The Most Dangerous Food of ALL

Posted By Ric Vatner on August 27, 2010

Honestly, this will be my last word on this subject but I received this anecdote today and it seemed like a good way to end the topic:

A doctor was addressing a large audience in Oxford. He said, “The material we put into our stomachs should have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is full of steroids and dye. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High trans fat diets can be disastrous and none of you realise the long-term harm caused by the fluoride and germs in our drinking water.

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

After several seconds of quiet, a 70 year old man in the front row raised his hand, and softly said, “Wedding Cake.”

Thanks Tom

Hi, I've been in Sales and Marketing all my business life but I have also published various magazines from time to time including an audio magazine called BAC to Business (pronounced Back to Business). I've spoken at conferences around the world usually on Marketing but also on Business, Philosophy, Education, Insurance, Media and quite a few other topics, in fact speaking is the major reason I have visited so many countries. Some of my major achievements have been; I sold over $100,000,000 of paid Whole of Life Assurance in two years for Prudential while simultaneously making the Top 5 with four or five other insurance companies in the late 1980's and early Nineties, I won the inaugeral Holbien Scholarship for the Pacific Region with my paper on the future of Newspapers in 2000, I launched the only web site I know of that started its own newspaper with content from the web site and sold it at a profit within six months during the Tech Crash in 2002. And more recently I launched ESTV an online TV Style magazine which has a neat twist, it is the Internet version of a local paper - TV style. In the near future I will launch Best Deals Australia - a unique Shopping Mall - Why unique? - Ah you will have to see it to understand.

    The dangerous food in the world is marriage, isn’t it? I agree, it is 50% right. Bad marriage can change personality and health condition. In unhappy marriage, people are aging faster, have high risk of heart and liver disease. In scientist research, single life is healthier than marriage life. So, if there is not “perfect” partner, I would like to stay single.

    We cannot get the hair white in one night or lost half head hair in one night, but emotion hurt or stress can make people aging ten years in few days, how poisonous is it?

    He is so humourous.
