1989

The Official Globe Calorie Counter mini-mag of 1989 is a food magazine published by Globe Communications Corp. Designed for home cooks, grocery shoppers, and health-conscious consumers, the publication combines nutritional guidance with a comprehensive calorie guide for everyday foods. Rather than functioning as a traditional recipe magazine, it serves as a practical culinary reference, providing calorie information for baked goods, cereals, meats, seafood, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, desserts, sauces, condiments, beverages, and fast foods. The guide also includes quick weight-loss menus and a seven-day diet plan, reflecting the strong interest in nutrition and healthy eating during the late twentieth century.

The magazine's colorful cover features overflowing grocery carts filled with fresh produce and packaged foods, visually emphasizing abundance, food choice, and informed eating. Inside, the contents are organized by food category, allowing readers to quickly locate nutritional information while planning meals, comparing ingredients, or making purchasing decisions.
