Nature’s Treasures Open to Man.- all this is a very complicated and diversified process, the necessity for which can only be explained on the hypothesis that nature, in her exhaustless munificence, has opened her proud domains, and poured forth to man the treasures of every land and every sea for food; the cornfields waved their golden grain for him; the wheat, rye, oats, corn, maize, rice, each different, yet highly nutritious and sufficing; the Palm, the date, the banana, the fig, a pineapple, spread out a delicious harvest on the air; the luscious apple, peer, beach, plum, cherry, tempt his ready hand; the potato, the beat, the turnip, tomato, cabbage, the pea, cauliflower, and a thousand other good things, incite his appetite, whilst to this feast is added the flesh of birds, of oxen, of sheep, of swine and of fish; that before the waving wheat and corn, the flesh of other animals, the fruits and farinaceous foods, the running water, the luscious oyster and fish, etc., can be transformed into the refined in spiritual organization of man, it must be thoroughly prepared by the several steps in the digestive process — then, and only then, is it permitted to enter into and co-mingle with the highly complex, nutritious and life-sustaining fluid, the blood.

Wow, now that was really a mouthful.  I thought I would never finish all of those extra long lists that attempted to catalog everything that was possible to be from each of the food groups in a single sentence.  You may not realize it but that entire paragraph up above was one single sentence or as any of my teachers throughout any of my classes with state, that was one great big freaking run on!

Absolutely ridiculous the number of semicolons and comas that were used throughout that entire mess.  I think I probably put on 5 pounds just reading that great big run on a sentence about food. I have to buy a new can of Miracle burn just to speed up my metabolism. I have to wake up in the morning and compete in an Ironman competition just get back on an even keel. Regardless Dragon Naturally Speaking definitely had a lot of fun with that one!
