LIGHT SIDE

A fellow finds himself in front of Saint Peter at the golden gate. St. Peter explains it is not easy to get to heaven. There are some criteria before entry.

He asks the guy are you religious? Gave money to the church? Gave
money to the poor? Help his neighbour?

The fellow answers “no”.

Peter says, “look, work with me, I am trying to help you, think”.

The fellow says, “Well, I came out of a store and found this old
lady surrounded by a dozen bikers. They were shoving her around,
and abusing her. I got so mad I threw my grocery bags down, fought through the crowd, and got her purse back. After helping her to her feet, I went to the biggest, baddest biker and told him how despicable, cowardly, and mean he was. Then I spat in his face.”

“Wow”, said peter, ” That’s very impressive. When did this happen”?

“oh, about five minutes ago”, replied the fellow.

VEGGIE BURGERS

You want to try veggie burgers; they are great imitations of the real thing. Many companies now make them in a variety of tastes and styles. Some mimic meat; others are intentionally grain like. All are lower in calories and fat than a conventional burger and higher in fibre. Many have a respectable amount of protein, too. Their weakness is sodium: The rated burgers have 250 to 500 milligrams. (The recommended daily limit is 2,300 milligrams)
