Top Ten Reasons to Eat Pie

I just love an excuse to eat a piece of pie, don’t you? And it doesn’t take much of an excuse for me. I’m one of those people who can skip the meal and go straight to the sweets!

For those of you on diets or who need some encouragement, here are ten reasons you should pick up your fork!

10. It’s someone’s birthday. It’s safe to say that somewhere on the planet today thousands of people are celebrating their big day and some of them celebrate with pie instead of cake. I just know that if they knew us they’d invite us to share their dessert so why not go ahead anyway?

9. Your dentist needs to see you again. If you keep eating pie sooner or later you will have to go for a visit.

8.Pies, especially cobblers, have fruit in them. The doctor said eat more fruit and this is my favorite way to do so!

7. If everyone stopped eating pie think of all the jobs that would be lost. Bakeries would close. The people who make pie crusts and fruit fillings would lose their jobs. It’s our duty to buy American…support your local bakery!

6. Sweets make endorphins and that makes us “Happy, Happy, Happy,” as Si from Duck Dynasty likes to say.

5. Little kids love them. The Grandparent Constitution says, “Every child has the right to eat sweets at grandma’s house,” or something like that.

4. Pies (and sweets in general) make me think of my mother. She was the best cook in the whole wide world (I know you thought your mom was….but I promise it was mine). She made the most delicious pies and cakes you can imagine. Just ask my friends….they loved to come to my house to eat! Who do you know that fed you sweets as a child? Eat a dessert in their honor.

3. They are a great gift. Know someone who needs cheering up? Surprise them with a slice of pie or cake!

2. They help us celebrate life and as far as I’m concerned, life needs more celebrations.

And the number one reason you should eat some pie today…..

1. It’s National Pie Day!
