Today is...

Eat What You Want Day

It’s Eat What You Want Day! Today is the day to ignore your diet and indulge in the foods you love most. Spread the word about this unique holiday with a free eCard for the occasion! While junk food is certainly acceptable on Eat What You Want Day, don’t forget to include your favorite meals as well. Perhaps you’d like to recreate Thanksgiving dinner, or a childhood classic like mac and cheese and pigs-in-the-blanket.
Did you know that dieting is a relatively new phenomenon? Our ancestors were concerned with getting more carbohydrates and fats into their systems, not less! The first fad diet programs appeared in the U.S. during the 19th century and today people are still trying all sorts of crazy things to lose a few pounds.
To celebrate Eat What You Want Day, eat all of your favorite healthy and not-so-healthy foods (in moderation). We hope you enjoy every bite!
Today is also Twilight Zone Day & National Nutty Fudge Day & National Public Gardens Day
