Welcome to February, everybody. February reminds me of Walt Whitman, who wrote, "Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself." That's because February is simultaneously National Snack Food Month and National Heart Month. Oh, and also National Children's Dental Health Month. All the best from Mother Jones.
