Bargain guide, week beginning June 22nd

Well, well, well, so this is summer, isn’t that mirabile dictu,
And these are the days when whatever you sit down on you stick to.

– Ogden Nash

The Wimbledon Championships are in progress: the semi-official snack food of Wimbledon is strawberries and cream, and this Saturday is (on this side of the Atlantic) National Strawberry Parfait Day. Mmm, strawberries.

June 22nd: National Chocolate Eclair Day
June 23rd: National Pecan Sandy Day
June 24th: National Creamy Praline Day
June 25th: National Strawberry Parfait Day
June 26th: National Chocolate Pudding Day
June 27th: National Orange Blossom Day, National Indian Pudding Day
June 28th: National Tapioca Day
June 29th: National Almond Buttercrunch Day

Not much in the way of food news this week. At Fooducate there’s a good article on exactly what’s meant by such terms as “all-natural”, “grass-fed”, and “free-range” on meat and poultry labels.

Also, Yoplait has discontinued an advertisement the National Eating Disorders Association called “seriously problematic” – the “raspberry cheesecake” ad that showed a woman (already thin) standing at the fridge demonstrating classically disordered obsessive thinking, such as, “What if I just had a small slice? I was good today, I deserve it. Or I could have a medium slice and some celery sticks and they would cancel each other out, right? Or, okay, I could have one large slice and jog in place as I eat it. Or how about one large slice while jogging in place followed by eight celery sticks … ”
