A dietitian was once addressing a large audience in Chicago. "The material we
put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years
ago.

Red meat is awful. Soft drinks erode your stomach lining. Chinese
food is loaded with MSG. Vegetables can be disastrous, and none of us realizes
the long-term harm caused by the germs 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?"

A 75-year-old man in the front row stood up
and said, "Wedding cake"
