October 14, 2022 - National Dessert Day | Spinach Lovers Month

Welcome to October 14, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate favorite desserts and a delicious superfood. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m a big fan of eating dessert first! It’s kind of lifestyle choice, but it reminds me to celebrate the food that feeds my inner child. I’m not saying I do this every day but there are certain desserts that deserve top billing. Do you guys have a favorite dessert? On National Dessert Day, celebrate your own sweet tooth by having dessert first. October is Spinach Lovers Month and this makes some of us think of Popeye the sailor man. When he ate a can of spinach, he gained super strength because of all the vitamins in it. Popeye cartoons made the vegetable so popular in the 1930s that sales shot up 33%. But here’s the interesting part: The reason everyone thought spinach was such a superfood was because of a misplaced decimal. A scientific study told everyone that there were 35 milligrams of iron per serving, but it’s actually only 3.5. That doesn’t mean spinach isn’t good for you, but it does mean you’re not going to develop super strength just because you eat some. During Spinach Lovers Month grab some of this leafy green superfood just for the love of its taste! I’m Anna Devere and I’m Marlo Anderson.
