Title: "Free Food!"

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.
