[quote=Anonymous]Weight Watchers was founded in the 1960s. I went to my first WW meeting in 1976, when I was 12, in Austin, Texas. And there were PLENTY of overweight people there. I attended on and off through the Seventies. My parents were big fans of Weight Watchers, having watched their weight during the Sixties and Seventies. Do you think there were not people taking diet pills, dieting, and having issues with their bodies before, OP? Who do you think Freud's patients were, in the 1890s to 1930s? These were women with, among other things, eating disorders and neuroses around food. You act as if, prior to to 1995 or some mythical time frame, no one had an effed up relationship with food, dieted, or overate. You've got to be kidding me.[/quote]
