How Food Holidays Are Determined
- "The President of the United States has the authority to declare a commemorative event or day by proclamation. Fewer than 150 are granted in an average year across all categories. While you may think the president has more important things to do, you may have noticed that while President Bartlet was solving world crises on "The West Wing," he was also being asked to sign proclamations to authorize National Pomegranate Month and such.
Petitions are introduced by constituents, trade associations or public relations firms to honor industries, events, professions, hobbies, etc. The Senate issue commemorative resolutions which do not have the force of law. Some state legislatures and governors proclaim special observance days, as do mayors of cities, which is why there can be a National Chocolate Day and a National Chocolate Month, as well as two National Guacamole Days-authorized at different levels of government. After the observance day has been authorized, it is up to the petitioner to promote it to the public."
Food Holidays Can Be Month-Long, Week-Long or Day-Long
Some foods that don't get their own month may get their own week or . . . just get a single day. In any case, it's Still enough for us to celebrate!
