The 3rd is National Egg Day – and, being the first Friday in June, National Doughnut Day. Hey, it’s only once a year. Or not quite, since the 8th is National Jelly Filled Doughnut Day. I do not make these things up:
June 1st: National Hazelnut Cake Day
June 2nd: National Rocky Road Ice-Cream Day
June 3rd: National Egg Day
June 4th: National Cheese Day, National Frozen Yogurt Day (All hail Golden Spoon!), National Cognac Day
June 5th: National Gingerbread Day
June 6th: National Applesauce Cake Day
June 7th: National Chocolate Ice-Cream Day
June 8th: National Jelly Filled Doughnut Day, World Oceans Day
Courtesy of the New York Times by way of Fooducate, tomorrow the USDA is going to dispose of its “Food Pyramid”, which has been utterly baffling us all for a quarter century. Here is the original, reasonably understandable Food Pyramid compared with its 2005 iteration:


The first makes at least some sense, although it doesn’t distinguish between whole and refined grains, but the second is completely incomprehensible. Starting tomorrow, we’re going to see a Food Plate, cut into wedges to represent relative portions of various foods, and with half the plate devoted to (yay) fruits and veggies!
