National Eat What You Want Day


May 11th is National Eat What You Want Day in the United States.

This is a day that can be considered to celebrate all types of food, rather than any particular one. It's also eat what you want, so no calorie counting, weight watching, dieting or anything, if it's what you want (within a certain amount of reason anyway). Given most people's tendencies, this will probably boil down to eating unhealthy things, whether candy, dessert, junk food, fast food or other unhealthy, but usually quite tasty, treats.

One day a year in which you eat what you want, even if it's unhealthy, is unlikely to do much in the way of damage. The real problem arises when people treat every day like eat what you want day. Moderation in all things; something unhealthy for a treat is one thing, eating it continually as a lifestyle choice is another.
