Jack Sprat Could Eat No Fat

When they tell us the nursery story about Jack Sprat and his dear Wifey, they never mention all the troubles caused by their different approaches to food. They don't tell you about the days when she would go to the grocery store and come back with mounds of fat and no lean. They don't mention the time she came home from a long days work, and he was so proud of the beautiful bison roast he'd spent the whole day slow-cooking for dinner.

And then there was the time Jack and Wifey were looking for a restaurant in Enchanted Village. Jack thought MacMann's Lean Machine looked good, and Wifey loved the idea of Arbuckle's Bacon Shack. After driving around for what seemed like hours, they ended up settling for a quick bite at Veggies-R-Us, which neither of them really liked.
