razzleccentricBelieve it or not, March is National Nutrition Month according to the American Dietetics Association. Why March, I dunno. I would've picked a month resplendent with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables myself - granted, it is strawberry season in Florida right now. And I do like the ADA's slogan/graphic for this year. *points to icon*
Of course March is also National Frozen Food Month, noI'mnotkidding. This kinda makes more sense - it's still cold and we're still getting most of our veggies from the frozen food aisle. But who knew there was a National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association? Or that they've signed a marketing deal with that penguin movie "Happy Feet" to get the whole nation to "Tap Into Frozen" foods??
Whether it’s a quick, warm breakfast, lunch on-the-go or a convenient, home-cooked family meal, you can find it all in the frozen aisles of your local store!
Say WHAT???
In related news, March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Screw those frozen Hot Pockets. You should be scarfing your fiber, and plenty of it. Colorectal cancer is no laughing matter.
But maybe, just maybe... the giant inflatable Super Colon kinda made me chuckle.
PS - The NYC trans fats ban is STUPID.
