Gallery of Regrettable Food
November 10, 2003
Even techno-geeks get horny.
We here at Newmoanyeah still remember the "Four Food Groups". Eff the "Food Pyramid". Despite those feelings, even we wonder about what the Hell people were thinking back in the 40s, 50s, and 60s.
The cook books back then would make you think that the major food groups were: Grease, Lard, Butter, and Fat. On the other hand, many of the cook books were little more than extended advertisements for food stuff producers.
A pretty funny guy named James Lileks has gathered an impressive collection of images from these cook books and added some gut-busting (double entendre intended) commentary. Hit the links below for some funny.
