Happy National Greasy Food Day!

According to the International Food Information Council, roughly 75 percent of Americans are concerned about their weight -- which is at least a start, given that a whopping 63 percent of Americans were categorized as overweight or obese by a Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index survey from 2009.

While we obviously suggest somewhat conscientious eating on a daily basis, why not take advantage of today's gluttonous food holiday to temporarily say diets be damned! Whether eating whatever you want involves allowing yourself to eat some greasy grub you usually deny yourself, or creating random meals by raiding your pantry, enjoy a food-oriented day.
