Calories don't count on Fridays

For my prior macabre post, I looked at this Wikipedia article on Día de los Muertos.

The following description of the feast that people set out for their deceased loved ones totally reminded me of what people jokingly say about sweets, such as "Oh, it's only half a cookie, so the calories don't count" or "Calories don't count on Fridays."

"Some people believe the spirits of the dead eat the 'spiritual essence' of the ofrendas food, so even though the celebrators eat the food after the festivities, they believe it lacks nutritional value."

I say we designate days of the week or hours of the day for ghosts to consume the spiritual essence of cookies, brownies, cake, chocolate, candy, etc. I'm totally into that.
