This initial report stated that the first reported case occurred several weeks earlier, but health officials were unable to determine spinach as the culprit until more cases were reported and they were able to find a common link between them. Over a week later the FDA continued to update that the outbreak had spread to 25 states and had risen to 166 people infected. At this point it was also found that the contaminated spinach had been grown in Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Clara Counties, and that spinach grown elsewhere in the U.S. had not been affected. Three companies, including GRT Salads, voluntarily recalled all of their products containing fresh spinach. Fifteen days after the FDA’s initial report it was announced that all of the
Besides being a highly influential Native American figure of early New England, Squanto played a role in the earliest known Thanksgiving celebration. Squanto spent much of his life living in the Plymouth Colony teaching his newly acquired English friends how to survive in this foreign land. He helped them greatly in the area of growing and gathering food. Without the help of Squanto, the English never would have discovered many important methods involved in growing a decent crops the American soil. Squanto showed the immigrants how to plant corn in hillocks, using dead herring as fertilizer after many failed attempts of growing while using their own Methods.
What’s for dinner? Michael Pollan book takes it one step further: “What is in the dinner?” The book back tracks from the dinner table, step by step process to rebuild in corn additives back to food status. He realized that Americans are actually corn fed animals too. After reading chapter 1, it’s obvious that no one knows what they’re actually eating anymore. I recently headed out to the supermarket; check the labels on about 15 to 20 products.
Body: What is Jell-O and where did it come from? Over 100 years ago in 1897, Pearl Wait and his wife created Jell-O out of the comfort of their own home. The couple purchased gelatin which at that time had no flavor and many were trying to make it into something wonderful. According to the Jell-O museum website, the four original flavors created were strawberry, raspberry, orange, and lemon. Originally made in a kitchen in Leroy, New York, Jell-O is now made in plants around the United States.

Only around half of the one hundred plus passengers on the Mayflower survived that first winter, mostly because of diseases contracted on the voyage. The main reason the Pilgrims came was to practice religion freely and to be away from England including the restrictions on religion. [7] A Native American named Squanto taught the colonists how to catch eel and grow corn the following year (1621). His assistance was remarkable, considering that the Pilgrims were living on the site his deceased Patuxet tribe had established as a village before they were wiped out from diseases brought over by earlier traders from
These are just some of the many traditions that my family hold, but one that we do not is the location of Thanksgiving dinner. Some years we go to Lake Geneva with my mom’s family, and other years to the Misericordia home with my father’s side of the family. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to where we sit down with family for Thanksgiving dinner (it does not switch families every year, or is it held in the same place for each side of the family).
