Feasting on the History of National Eat What You Want Day

Our journey down the memory lane takes us back to the days of Thomas and Ruth Roy who conceived National Eat What You Want Day to put a pause on the worldwide obsession with diets and food restrictions.

So, on May 11 every year, we all are encouraged to treat our taste-buds to whatever they've been fantasizing about; be it a hefty slice of deep-dish pizza, a gooey comfort bowl of mac and cheese or a mountainous ice-cream sundae.
