I've turned off comment moderation for the time being as I am still traveling across the country. Don't miss these comments, as the author of the Salon article has kindly dropped by to offer a response.
OMG --Midknyt -- I love those SO MUCH, they are so funny! Wendy McClure is a brilliant silly genius.
Meanwhile, I wish to GOD my Dad still had his WW cards -- he has been on WW off and on since the early 70's. I am on WW now and I am so GLAD that they no longer require members to eat liver once a week.
I remember that phase of my Dad's diet with amazing clarity, mostly due to the fact that he forced the liver on us, as well. God I hate the smell of it.
I think my favorites are the Frankfurter Spectacular and the Polynesian Snack. WHAT is with all the pimentos?
First time I went through those cards I woke my husband up I was laughing so hard!
I've got to say that the Frankfurter Spectacular is one of my favorites too - who wouldn't want to eat hot dogs wrapped around a pineapple? :) Although you have to wonder about the Fish Balls...
So what's the Big Fat Deal? Well, at the risk of getting all mission-statementy, I think it's important to call attention to issues of weight in the media, pop culture, and society. If we can convince at least one teenage girl that Ashley Olsen isn't "the fat twin," we will have done our job.

Well, last time you let us run free with the comments, no one said anything and you were all disapointed...
So I thought I'd share this disturbing site with anyone who hasn't seen it yet. It's pretty funny. :)

(Sorry, haven't figured out how to do links on this yet...or bold, or anything really.)
