Bargain guide, week beginning December 15th
Today has been National Cupcake Day: tomorrow is National Chocolate Covered Anything Day, both very flexible for modes of celebration. Saturday, the 18th, is National Roast Suckling Pig Day, which I will readily skip over this year as every year. The 21st is National Kiwifruit Day – kiwifruit are free on PointsPlus. Sangria, sadly, is not, despite its fruit content, so if you celebrate National Sangria Day on the 20th you should track it.
PointsPlus got a wholly positive mention on the Fooducate blog. Upshot: “The scientific team at WW revised the points system to encourage consumption of high fiber, high antioxidant produce simply by making them free!... So if you are hungry for a snack, this system nudges you to whole unprocessed fare, not 100 calorie packs of fillers and artificial sweeteners.”
The FDA is cracking down on Dannon, the makers of Activia yogurt. In the future:
• Dannon may no longer claim that any yogurt or dairy drink will reduce your likelihood of catching a cold or flu.
• Dannon may claim that Activia will relieve irregularity or aid “slow intestinal transit time” … as long as the ad mentions that this requires three servings of Activia per day.
• Dannon may not make that claim for any other yogurt, dairy drink, or probiotic food product unless they can produce two well-designed studies to substantiate the claim.

Bargain guide, week beginning December 8th
It’s the second week of December, which is National Lager Week, and the 10th – this Friday – is National Lager Day. Sunday, the 12th, is National Cocoa Day: Swiss Miss “Sensible Sweets” (the one labeled “Diet”) still has a PointsPlus count of 1 for one packet, 1 for two packets! And each packet still counts as a glass of milk. So have two.
The 13th is Ice Cream and Violins Day. This is another of those holidays that fall under the category of “ ... and no one knows why.” The day after is National Bouillabaisse Day: my preferred bouillabaisse recipe is the almost artistically imprecise one in Euell Gibbons’s Stalking the Blue-Eyed Scallop, the one that begins “3 pounds white-meated fish, 3 cups crustacean shellfish meat, 3 dozen molluscan shellfish … ”
Latest from Fooducate: just what “cold pressed” on a bottle of oil means, and why it has different meanings on the two sides of the Atlantic; and why a European Nutri-Grain bar contains beetroot, and why that’s a good thing.

Bargain guide, week beginning December 1st
I'm grabbing a few minutes away from Operation Cover-To-Cover to update the blog: welcome to December, which is National Fruit Cake Month and National Egg Nog Month. There honestly is such a thing as edible – even delicious – fruit cake, and it comes from Collin Street Bakery. The 5th is National Prohibition Repeal Day – I’ll gladly drink to that.
Donna Currie, at Serious Eats, is currently working on what she’s calling a Sourdough-Starter-Along: a day-by-day project to make her own sourdough starter.
I should probably mention that neither the weekly handout nor this blog are remotely in any way, shape, form, or fashion an official Weight Watchers production. Mine and mine alone.

Remember my mention last week of how the USDA is responsible for both promoting a healthy eating plan and helping Pizza Hut work out ways to put 40% more cheese on their pizzas? Well, over in the UK, their Department of Health has literally put fast-food and processed-food companies – including McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, and PepsiCo – directly in charge of writing government policy on obesity and diet-related illness. Insert analogy about wolves and henhouses here.

Remember my mention last week of how the USDA is responsible for both promoting a healthy eating plan and helping Pizza Hut work out ways to put 40% more cheese on their pizzas? Well, over in the UK, their Department of Health has literally put fast-food and processed-food companies – including McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, and PepsiCo – directly in charge of writing government policy on obesity and diet-related illness. Insert analogy about wolves and henhouses here.
Heavy promotions this week include turkey, turkey, fresh green beans, turkey, bags of cranberries, turkey, turkey, sweet potatoes, turkey, stuffing mix, turkey, pumpkin pies, and ham.

Bargain guide, week beginning November 10th
This Friday is, I am informed, National Pizza With Everything (Except Anchovies) Day. This Sunday, the 14th, is National Pickle Day – most pickles have a Points count of zero. Baklava, sadly, does not have such a count, but one week from today is nonetheless National Baklava Day. (I once made my own baklava. It occupies the kitchen for an entire day and no one else can do anything in there, not even make coffee.)
November 10th: National Vanilla Cupcake Day
November 11th: National Sundae Day
November 12th: National Pizza With Everything Day (Except Anchovies)
November 13th: National Indian Pudding Day
November 14th: National Pickle Day, National Guacamole Day

If you watched TV at all over this past summer, you’ll have noticed Domino’s Pizza’s “rebranding” effort: basically a self-deprecating announcement that “Yeah, everyone agrees that our pizza is rubbish, even we acknowledge that it’s rubbish, and now we want to hear your ideas of what we might do to make it better.” According to an article in the New York Times, or clickable at http://wwwrentips.blogspot.com – the primary change in Domino’s pizzas has been a massive increase in the amount of cheese on them … and this was paid for by a government handout. The Domino’s campaign – which cost $12 million – was created and financed by an organization called Dairy Management:

If you watched TV at all over this past summer, you’ll have noticed Domino’s Pizza’s “rebranding” effort: basically a self-deprecating announcement that “Yeah, everyone agrees that our pizza is rubbish, even we acknowledge that it’s rubbish, and now we want to hear your ideas of what we might do to make it better.” According to an article in the New York Times, or clickable at http://wwwrentips.blogspot.com – the primary change in Domino’s pizzas has been a massive increase in the amount of cheese on them … and this was paid for by a government handout. The Domino’s campaign – which cost $12 million – was created and financed by an organization called Dairy Management:
And Dairy Management, which has made cheese its cause, is not a private business consultant. It is a marketing creation of the United States Department of Agriculture – the same agency at the center of a federal anti-obesity drive that discourages over-consumption of some of the very foods Dairy Management is vigorously promoting.
Urged on by government warnings about saturated fat, Americans have been moving toward low-fat milk for decades, leaving a surplus of whole milk and milk fat. Yet the government, through Dairy Management, is engaged in an effort to find ways to get dairy back into Americans’ diets, primarily through cheese.(Per capita consumption of cheese in the US has nearly tripled since 1970.)

Bargain guide, week beginning November 3rd
November is National Peanut Butter Lovers’ Month – that’s you, Debi! Also Raisin Bread Month, a good combination. It’s several other things as well, most notably Good Nutrition Month, but also Georgia Pecan Month, National Pepper Month, National Pomegranate Month, Vegan Month, Fun With Fondue Month, and the year's third consecutive National Apple Month.
The 4th of this month, oddly, is National Candy Day – “oddly” because I’d have thought it came last Sunday. (The handout erroneously gave the 3rd as the date for Candy Day -- sorry.) This Friday, the 5th, is one of the year’s two separate National Doughnut Days. Next Tuesday, the 9th, is Cook Something Bold and Pungent Day, and also Harvey Wallbanger Day. One week from today is not National Cupcake Day – that’s next month – but very specifically National Vanilla Cupcake Day.
November 3rd: Sandwich Day
November 4th: National Candy Day
November 5th: National Doughnut day (there are at least two of these)
November 6th: National Nachos Day
November 7th: Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day
November 8th: Cook Something Bold and Pungent Day, Harvey Wallbanger Day, National Cappuccino Day
November 9th: National Scrapple Day
November10th: National Vanilla Cupcake Day
The Fooducate blog -- bookmark that -- is doing good series of articles on bread, what you're buying when you buy it, and how to buy it healthy. Part 1 (overview), Part 2 (whole grains), Part 3 (but what else are you getting?)-- there will be more, and you can find them from the main Fooducate page.

The 4th of this month, oddly, is National Candy Day – “oddly” because I’d have thought it came last Sunday. (The handout erroneously gave the 3rd as the date for Candy Day -- sorry.) This Friday, the 5th, is one of the year’s two separate National Doughnut Days. Next Tuesday, the 9th, is Cook Something Bold and Pungent Day, and also Harvey Wallbanger Day. One week from today is not National Cupcake Day – that’s next month – but very specifically National Vanilla Cupcake Day.
November 3rd: Sandwich Day
November 4th: National Candy Day
November 5th: National Doughnut day (there are at least two of these)
November 6th: National Nachos Day
November 7th: Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day
November 8th: Cook Something Bold and Pungent Day, Harvey Wallbanger Day, National Cappuccino Day
November 9th: National Scrapple Day
November10th: National Vanilla Cupcake Day
The Fooducate blog -- bookmark that -- is doing good series of articles on bread, what you're buying when you buy it, and how to buy it healthy. Part 1 (overview), Part 2 (whole grains), Part 3 (but what else are you getting?)-- there will be more, and you can find them from the main Fooducate page.
