Power Foods: Polar Bear

The other day Donna and I were perusing the 'Power Foods' in the Weight Watcher Plus food finder. One item that caught our eye was raw Polar Bear meat.

So. I have some questions. How many people... Okay, just how many Eskimo (Inuit) Weight Watcher meetings are there in northern Canada? Can you imagine weigh-ins in an igloo? Does the aurora borealis affect the scale electronics?
And, why 'raw Polar bear'? "We would have cooked it, but were being chased by wolves." All righty, then. Or, "It's sort of like celery. More calories are used to chew and digest it than are in the meat itself."

Did you know that raw Polar bear meat is on the 'Simply Filling' foods list? Meaning you don't have to weigh and track, but get to eat until you feel full. Wow! All the Polar bear you can eat. Assuming you have the time, with Polar bears lurking, and sneaking up on you from the nearest ice flow.

Can't you just visualize the weigh-ins?
"Why, Oola, you are looking so good tonight. How much have you lost?"
"Uh, none. I think it's the thinner seal skin parka."
"Well, on you it looks good."

"You might want to leave your mukluks on when you step on the scales."
"Won't that add a couple of pounds?"
"True, but the last person that went barefoot had her feet freeze to the scale."
"Ah."
"And you might want to take those salmon out of your pockets."
"What about the walrus tusk?"
"Yeah, probably a good idea."
***
"How many points plus in a serving of whale blubber?"
"Is that frozen, or not?"
"It has to be frozen, otherwise it goes rancid."
