Lean Cuisine: Delicious Recipes for the Healthy Stay-Slender Life
Gibbons
1979
When I saw this, I immediately thought it was THE “Lean Cuisine,” but then found out that the Lean Cuisine brand wasn’t started until 1981. This was just a clever play on words for a health food cookbook.

This is an easy weeder. People will confuse it with THE Lean Cuisine and be disappointed.

The premise is that the USDA is going to help you and keep you safe from bad food. Also, the great industrial machine is good for food production.
