My paternal grandmother was tied in with Weight Watchers when I was growing up. She never changed much, so I’m pretty sure Weight Watchers would have had more success building around a name like Weight Whackers, or some such.
Anywhoo — watching grandma I learned that cottage cheese helps you keep the pounds you’ve already got. I don’t know how many slices of perfectly good cantaloupe she desecrated with it, but her own advancing age worked more rapidly to trim her figure. It’s not a concern, but if I ever feared wasting away, I’d be into cottage cheese bigtime. I’d just have to serve it with something to mask the flavor.
I’m thinkin’ lasagna.
Cottage cheese is a very poor choice, dairy-products wise.
