Suzy Epstein was giving a talk at congregation Beth Israel as part of their “Healthy Living” series. A dietitian, Mrs. Epstein was addressing our unhealthy eating habits. “The material we put into our bodies 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 full of bugs, and none of us realizes the long term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water.
"However there is one thing that is the most dangerous 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?"
Old Moishe Meiselman sitting in the front row stood up and said, "Wedding cake!"
