Just when we're tired of dieting for swimsuit season, along comes the best holiday of the summer: today is National Junk Food Day! That means you can eat anything you want today and none of it has any calories. Just kidding. It means you don't have to make the healthy choice and you don't feel a shred of guilt about it. Not one iota.

That's how you eat right on Junk Food Day.

You don't have to overeat to enjoy the holiday. Just don't worry about what you eat. Treat yourself to a fast food burger or a giant sundae. Order that pizza for lunch and skip the salad. Take a box of donuts to work and share the festive spirit with everyone. Cupcakes, pies, chips, fries...nothing is off limits today!

I did a lot of digging and I can't find an origin for the unofficial holiday. Best guess? It was created by a woman. A hungry woman. A woman who hadn't eaten chocolate since Easter. Sounds plausible to me. I just wish she'd have taken credit for it. I'd like to send her a thank you card. And a box of candies!
