“I've never been able to understand how anyone could stand measuring out half a cup of this and four ounces of that. If a woman has the time to do that she's not busy enough—and that may be why she's overweight! It's a lot easier just to buy the foods that are fairly low in calories and to cultivate a taste for them. And have a little of each kind of essential food during the course f a day.

I'd much rather eat the first course and forget he rest of it if its a business lunch and everybody has to be back in forty-five minutes.”
― Joan Crawford, My Way of Life
