A
dietician 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. Vegetables can be disastrous, and
none of us realizes the
germs in our drinking water. But there is one
thing that is the most
dangerous of all and we all of us eat it. Can
anyone here tell me
what lethal product I’m referring to? You, sir, in the
first row,
please give us your idea.”

The man lowered his head and said,
“Wedding cake.”
