Starting this week, Safeway is instituting its own system of shelf-tag nutrition labeling. Under the “SimpleNutrition” system, foods can be labeled with any of twenty-two different “benefit tags”, including “Made With Whole Grains”, “Good Source of Fiber”, “100% Juice”, and “Lean Protein”. (As the bloggers at Fooducate point out, Safeway’s intent is to sell foods, so there are no “Drawback Tags”: no food is going to be tagged, say, “Contains over 40% of your daily sodium” or “Good source of saturated fat”.)
Today is both National Banana Bread Day and National Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day. Call me unappreciative, but I’ve tried a number of different dog biscuits and have not found one that is an adequate substitute for banana bread. The 27th is National Strawberry Day (strawberries are PointsPlus-free) and National Kahlua Day (Kahlua most decidedly is not). March 1st is National Peanut Butter Lovers’ Day: I am not numbered among the peanut butter lovers, but if you are (and I know Debi is), enjoy.

Bargain guide, week beginning February 16th
Courtesy of Fooducate, at Xtranormal we have an animated video, a sardonic riff on food processors’ attempts to convince us that heavily processed foods are healthier than un- or less-processed foods. (“Have you tried quinoa?” “That is a carb. I would rather eat a candy bar made with sugar alcohols that make my stomach feel as though a demonic alien baby were trying to claw its way out of me.”)
Friday, the 18th, is Drink Wine Day; it is followed by National Chocolate Mint Day, National Cherry Pie Day, and National Sticky Bun Day. And at the extreme opposite end of the food-appeal spectrum, one week from today, the 23rd, is National Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day. (I’ve tried them. They’re filling enough and crunchy, but definitely left me with that deprived feeling WW tells us we should avoid.)

Bargain guide, week beginning February 2nd
From what I see on the news, when Punxsutawney Phil – or any other groundhog – stuck his head out this Groundhog Day, all he saw was snow. (Am I the only person here old enough to remember Agua Fria Freddie?)
Some sort of sporting event is scheduled for this weekend, or so I am given to understand: actually, it’s the biggest food-consumption day of the year, beating out Thanksgiving. So chips, dips, steaks, burgers, soft drinks, beer, and anything else suitable for serving to large groups of shouting men is heavily promoted this week.
And so welcome to February, which is – at the healthier end of the spectrum – Berry Fresh Month, National Cherry Month (I have no idea why, as any fresh cherries in February have to be imported from Chile!), National Fiber Focus Month, National Grapefruit Month, National Heart Healthy Month, and National Hot Breakfast Month. This first week of February is Shape Up With Pickles Week – again I have no idea why, but pickles are a tasty snack and most of them are PointsPlus free. The 4th of the month, this Friday, is Homemade Soup Day: as I type this it is 40° out and a plate of homemade soup sounds gooood. The 6th is Frozen Yogurt Day – all hail Golden Spoon – but I think we will be pretty well frozen by then even without the yogurt.
February 2nd: Heavenly Hash Day
February 3rd: National Carrot Cake Day
February 4th: Homemade Soup Day, National Stuffed Mushroom Day
February 5th: National Chocolate Fondue Day
February 6th: National Frozen Yogurt Day
February 7th: National Fettucine Alfredo Day*
February 8th: Molasses Bar Day
February 9th: National Bagels and Lox Day, National Pizza Day
* I am reliably informed that Alfredo would have been shocked at the notion of an "Alfredo sauce" -- Alfredo dressed his fettucine with lumps of butter and piles of freshly shredded Parmesan.
In the news, the USDA finally (in January 2011) got around to announcing its 2010 dietary guidelines. Which are full of such shocking advice as “Eat more whole grains”, “Fill half your plate with vegetables”, and “Drink water, not sugary drinks”, all of which we’ve been hearing from Weight Watchers for years now.

Some sort of sporting event is scheduled for this weekend, or so I am given to understand: actually, it’s the biggest food-consumption day of the year, beating out Thanksgiving. So chips, dips, steaks, burgers, soft drinks, beer, and anything else suitable for serving to large groups of shouting men is heavily promoted this week.
And so welcome to February, which is – at the healthier end of the spectrum – Berry Fresh Month, National Cherry Month (I have no idea why, as any fresh cherries in February have to be imported from Chile!), National Fiber Focus Month, National Grapefruit Month, National Heart Healthy Month, and National Hot Breakfast Month. This first week of February is Shape Up With Pickles Week – again I have no idea why, but pickles are a tasty snack and most of them are PointsPlus free. The 4th of the month, this Friday, is Homemade Soup Day: as I type this it is 40° out and a plate of homemade soup sounds gooood. The 6th is Frozen Yogurt Day – all hail Golden Spoon – but I think we will be pretty well frozen by then even without the yogurt.
February 2nd: Heavenly Hash Day
February 3rd: National Carrot Cake Day
February 4th: Homemade Soup Day, National Stuffed Mushroom Day
February 5th: National Chocolate Fondue Day
February 6th: National Frozen Yogurt Day
February 7th: National Fettucine Alfredo Day*
February 8th: Molasses Bar Day
February 9th: National Bagels and Lox Day, National Pizza Day
* I am reliably informed that Alfredo would have been shocked at the notion of an "Alfredo sauce" -- Alfredo dressed his fettucine with lumps of butter and piles of freshly shredded Parmesan.
In the news, the USDA finally (in January 2011) got around to announcing its 2010 dietary guidelines. Which are full of such shocking advice as “Eat more whole grains”, “Fill half your plate with vegetables”, and “Drink water, not sugary drinks”, all of which we’ve been hearing from Weight Watchers for years now.
