Food and Your Weight, ephemera from 1946

Maintaining your weight in 1964, courtesy of the U.S. Department of Agriculture is a pretty basic food guide and calorie counter. It doesn't have any recipes at all and the information is pretty basic and boring to read. I collected this as one of a batch of food related items. The best thing about it is the illustrations.
The cover of the pamphlet. The two people on the left look like they are about to be buried in food.
Most people in this country are worried about being overweight, but this poor woman is in danger of being blown away by the wind.
