May 4: Great American Grump Out, Orange Juice Day, International Respect for Chickens Day
"Don't worry, be happy" could be the motto of the 10th annual Great American Grump Out. Curmudgeons may as well stay home, as they may find it impossible to refrain from negative comments and thoughtful pessimism. For the occasional complainer, lighten up. It's good for you, says Janice. A. Hathy, B.S.,H.B.
Hathy owns Smile Mania, a "business that provides stress management resources" and is the positive force behind the Great American Grump Out. She wants people to understand the effects stress and negativity have on our health. Stress has been connected to heart disease, cancer, emotional disorders and affects our immune system. Great American Grump Out gives everyone an excuse to slow down, laugh a little more and learn to let things roll off our backs, rather than stress about them.
Orange Juice Day
Orange juice is not just for drinking mimosas. Whether you like it full of pulp, pulp-free or prefer a low-acid or calcium-rich version, the bright orange drink of the morning can be used in cooking and baking. Use up orange juice before it expires by baking a Marmalade-Glazed Orange Cheesecake or some Orange and Marmalade Macadamia Nut Cookies.
A recipe for making orange juice using the citrus fruit plus sugar and water dates back to 1653, when Francoise Pierre described how to make lemonade in "The French Cook" and added, "That of orange is made the same way." Recipes for "orangeade" also appear in 1863 and 1936. A cup of orange juice contains 110 calories, zero fat grams and a bounty of vitamin C, folate, thiamin and potassium.
International Respect for Chickens Day
When people discuss animal rights and human food consumption, the focus tends to be on red meat. International Respect for Chickens Day brings the plight of chicks and chickens to light. United Poultry Concerns hosts the holiday to "celebrate the beauty of chickens" and to protest "the misery of their lives in farming operations."
Ways to observe the holiday:
* Spread awareness of chicken treatment.
* Host a vegan bake sale.
* Stick up for chickens at the White House on May 7, 2011.
