Another Oldie but goo- oh, Dear Lord.

Chilled celery log? Rosy Perfection Salad? Mackerel Casserole? The collection of diet recipe cards from the 1970's clearly work on the principle that if the food is that icky, you just won't eat it and that way, you will loose weight. The captions and the comments make this site a classic.

Start here. And you won't need snacks, I promise.

Just wait till you get to "Snacks on a Stick." Funny stuff.
