Snack Food Month



The only national day today was Sticky Bun Day. Nope... not doing that just for the sake of the blog. And then I discovered Snack Food Month.  And these are two of my favorite healthy snacks.

It was interesting to learn that this was created in 1989 by an MBA graduate who most likely worked in marketing for a snack food company. The idea was to increase consumption of snacks during a month when snack food consumption was traditionally low. The promotion now kicks off on Super Bowl Sunday and the result has been a substantial increase in snack food sales during February. I swear we're all pawns in the giant chess game of big business.
