National Eat What You Want Day
A Day of Indulgence
Observed annually on May 11th, in the USA, National Eat What You Want Day is a day of indulgence. It is all about setting aside dietary restraint to enjoy the foods you crave. Though, for many of us it is a day much like any other day. I try to make wise choices, but I don't always succeed.
Poking around the Internet I found out that it was created by Thomas and Ruth Roy who have invented at least 80 American "holiday" observances.
I also came across a list, created by a Vancouver marketing agency, of the foods Americans would mostly eat everyday if they were not worried about the consequences. The list of these foods accompanied by photographs I took - because of course I would have at least one of each - is as follows:
#1: Pizza (13%)
#7: French fries (9%)
#10: Chips (5%)
#11: Cheese (4%)
#12: Cookies (4%)
