Here's a day to celebrate: No Diet Day!

Now here's a day I can celebrate: No diet day. It happens on May 7th (darn, I missed it) in a place called Timaru, New Zealand. The point of the day is to cease all dieting. That's not to say that you should head to the all-you-can-eat buffet and have a total pig-out, but rather for one day, don't spend any money , time or energy on the quest to be slim. People worldwide spend billions every year on diet products and yet we're still in the midst of an obesity crises. Dietitians in Timaru believe that diets are pointless, and rather people should invest in making healthy, long-term changes to their life. And you know what? I totally agree. I think every day should be no-diet day, but at the same time, we should make an effort to live our healthiest life every single day too.
