It offers recipes for such dishes as "True Way to Marxist Contentment Soup," and "Sweet and Rotten Pork," all of which consist of rice, fish heads (if available) and radishes. If faithfully followed, the regimen is guaranteed to eliminate not only the dieter's excess flab but the dieter. Meanwhile, Red soldiers are cautioned to "report all fortune-cookie messages to the Security Officer." And so forth...
