Yes, those are real. Not any real significance to them except maybe for recognition or such. The US has days like that for recognition of many different things. We don't even really usually know about them or do much for them. Though I guess the industry or group involved makes some noise about it for sales or recognition.

Is this some sort of concerted effort to get Americans to eat fattening food everyday and make us even fatter?

Of course not.  The only people who actually know about these days are foreigners.  I assume it's a marketing ploy that worked to some Congressman's benefit, as he received bribe money for this silliness.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

You are a horrible person. I hope they don't let you back into the country.

As far as I know, our "silly" National days don't have official sanction, I think it is what kronn said, "the industry or group involved makes some noise about it for sales or recognition."

No, June is the GLBT Pride Month.

Hence the Fudge Day.
