Some Interesting Food and Health Facts

*Avacados
*You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television.
*The drive-in restaurant concept, where patrons are served food in their vehicles, dates back to pre-World War II. The concept reached its height of popularity in the early 1950's. The first drive-in restaurant opened in Glendale, California in 1936.
*The average American consumes about 30 pounds of hamburger a year.
*The popsicle was invented by 11-years-old Frank Epperson in 1905. Epperson (1894-?) lived in San Francisco, California. Epperson had left a fruit drink out overnight (with a stirrer in it), and it froze, making a new treat.
*Purchase at least one pound of uncooked turkey per person when purchasing a whole turkey. You'll have enough for the feast and leftovers, too.
*Consuming chocolate was once considered a sin during the 16th and 17th century.
*The only "real" food that U.S. Astronauts are allowed to take into space is pecan nuts.
*You use more calories eating celery than there are in the celery itself.
