My friend Felicia just sent me this, and I have been cracking UP. They are Weight Watchers recipe cards from the 1970s, from a time when, CLEARLY, Weight Watchers had a different form that it has now. I’ve done WW numerous times, I enjoy the point system, it’s a good way to lose weight and be healthy, it’s not a diet, blah blah. But these recipe cards are … WHAT? Maybe you’ll have to be a Weight Watchers graduate to get the humor.
I love it. I love the commentary as well:
These cards mystify me. None of them have calorie or nutrition information of any kind, and in some instances it’s hard to tell what’s dietetic about the recipes at all, except that they’re unspeakably grim. And yet also, completely insane. They appear to be from a much kookier era of Weight Watchers. There’s a certain serve-it-at- your-next-key-party freakiness to a lot of these dishes.
