FOOD FUNby T.A.Tafoya

Where did that come from? Ever wonder how some of your favorite foods came to be? Tidbits takes a look at some fun food facts.

• According to legend, a Jewish baker in 1683 baked the first bagel. This stirrup-shaped yeast dough was made to honor Jan Sobieski, a renowned horseman and the King of Poland, for saving the people of Austria from Turkish invaders. The baker named the hard roll beugel, the Austrian word for stirrup. The roll soon became a hit throughout Eastern Europe, and over time its shape and name evolved into the modern-day bagel.

• What would the bagel be without cream cheese? In 1872, William Lawrence of Chester, N.Y., an American cheese maker, was experimenting with a recipe for Neufchâtel, a soft French cheese. He didn’t get it quite right, but what was produced was a much softer, silkier cheese. The cheese maker realized that this new cheese was better suited as a spreadable cheese designed to be consumed fresh. It didn’t need to be molded and aged in the Neufchâtel style. He wrapped it in foil, and it was trademarked as Philadelphia Brand Cream Cheese in 1880.

TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in

1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.

• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

• On May 9, 1671, Thomas Blood, an Irish adventurer better known as "Captain Blood," is captured attempting to steal the Crown Jewels from Charles II of England in the Tower of London. Charles was so impressed with Blood's audacity that, far from punishing him, he made him a member of his court with an annual pension.

• On May 14, 1914, Washington Senators pitcher Walter "Big Train" Johnson throws his 54th consecutive scoreless inning, against the St. Louis

Browns in Sportsman Park III. Johnson broke a 53-inning record set in 1910 by Jack Coombs of the Philadelphia Athletics.

• On May 11, 1934, a massive dust storm sends 350 million tons of topsoil flying from across the parched Great Plains as far east as New York, Boston and Atlanta. Even ships some 300 miles offshore saw dust collect on their decks.

• On May 12, 1949, an early crisis of the Cold War comes to an end when the Soviet Union lifts its 11-month blockade against West Berlin. The blockade had been broken by a massive U.S.-British airlift of 278,288 relief missions to the city, resulting in the delivery of 2,326,406 tons of supplies.

• On May 15, 1963, Gordon Cooper is launched into space aboard Faith 7 on the longest American space mission to date. Cooper completed 22 orbits of the Earth and spent 34 hours in space.

• On May 13, 1981, Pope John Paul II is shot and wounded at St. Peter's Square in Rome. Turkish terrorist Mehmet Ali Agca, an escaped fugitive already convicted of a previous murder, fired several shots at the religious leader. Agca was immediately captured. After a two-day trial, he was sentenced to life in prison.

• On May 10, 1990, the government of the People's Republic of China announces that it is releasing 211 people arrested during the massive protests held in Tiananmen Square in Beijing in June 1989. Most observers viewed the prisoner release as an attempt by the communist government of China to dispel much of the terrible publicity it received for its brutal suppression of the 1989 protests.

Food Fun (continued):• Have you had your Wheaties today? In the

1920s, a Minneapolis health-spa owner made homemade bran gruel to feed his clients. The mixture helped keep them regular and helped them lose weight. One day, he dropped some on the stove, and it hardened into a crust. After tasting it, he liked it better than what was cooking in the pot. He made a sample batch to show a friend at the Washburn Crosby Company, which later became the General Mills Company. The original mixture was too crumbly, so they came up with a better flake using wheat. Jane Bausman, the wife of a company executive, thought up the name Wheaties.

• Don’t skip your Wheaties! A study of 19,000 Americans found that people who skipped breakfast are more likely to gain weight because they tend to overcompensate for the loss of key nutrients at breakfast by eating more fat-rich, high-energy foods later in the day.

• The oldest piece of chewing gum is 9,000 years old, but it was in 1906 that the first “bubble gum” was invented by Frank Fleer. His first batch produced a gum so sticky that if it got on your skin the only way to get it off was with vigorous scrubbing and turpentine. His recipe was finally perfected 22 years later by Walter Diemer in 1928. The 23-year-old Diemer was an accountant for Fleer Chewing Gum Company who experimented with new gum recipes in his spare time. His first commercial batch of Dubble Bubble Gum just happened to be pink because that was the only food coloring on the shelf that day. Fleer’s gum became the most popular penny candy on the market.

Food Fun (continued):• In 1912, a Cleveland chocolate candy maker

named Clarence Crane wanted to make a hard mint that wouldn’t melt in the summer heat to boost summertime sales. While at the pharmacy buying bottled flavoring, he noticed the druggist using a hand operated pill-making machine that produced flat, round pills. He contracted with the pharmacy to press the mints into shape. The machinery malfunctioned and stamped the candy with a hole in the middle. After looking at the shape, it reminded him of a life preserver so he called them Lifesavers.

• Did you know ketchup didn’t always contain tomatoes? The Chinese invented it in the 1600s, and this mixture had no tomatoes but a lot of pickled fish and spices. In the early 1700s, British explorers encountered the sauce in Malaysia. By 1740, it was a British staple and was then renamed ketchup. Tomatoes became an ingredient in the late 1700s when New England colonists added them to the mixture, and modern-day ketchup was born. Tomatoes may have been added sooner, but they were once thought to be poisonous. Henry J. Heinz introduced bottled ketchup in 1875, and by the 1980s, Heinz Ketchup was in one of every two American households.

• In 1905 in San Francisco, an 11-year-old boy named Frank Epperson was mixing powdered flavoring in a glass of soda and water. He accidentally left the glass with the stirring stick in it on his back porch overnight. He found it frozen the next morning. This gave Epperson an idea, and 18 years later in 1923, he started selling “the Epsicle ice pop” for five cents, later changing the name to Popsicle.

Of all the fish caught and eaten around the world, more than half are used in the manufacture of products other than food. Fish parts like scales are used for the shimmer in make-up, and air bladders are used to make white wine. Other products made from fish include: glue, soap, margarine and fertilizer.

A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin, 5 and Ryan, 3. The boys began to argue about who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson. She said to the boys, “If Jesus were sitting here He would say, ‘Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.’” Kevin turned to his younger brother and said, “Ryan, you be Jesus.”

It takes just 40 days for most Americans to earn enough money to pay for their food supply for the entire year. Compare that to the 129 days it takes for the average American to earn enough money to pay federal, state and local taxes for the year.

By Samantha Weaver

• It was Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein who made the following sage observation: "If people never did silly things, nothing intelligent would ever get done."

• Much like farmers of today, ancient Egyptians who worked the land worried about a variety of animals that could destroy their crops: locusts, sparrows, mice and worms. Unlike the typical Midwesterner of today, though, they also had to worry about hippopotamuses. • The fierce Apache warrior we know today as Geronimo was not originally so named. His given name was Goyahkla, which means "one who yawns." • We've all seen pictures of African women carrying heavy loads -- up to 75 pounds in some cases -- balanced securely on their heads. But you might not realize that these women can carry more, relative to body size, more efficiently than pack mules.

• As the end of the school year approaches, this might be a good time to remember that it was Americans who came up with the idea of summer camp. • The name of the country of Iraq is derived from the Arabic word meaning "origin."

• If you've ever watched the closing credits of a film (and are not yourself involved in the movie industry), you might be wondering about some of the titles you've seen, so here's a quick rundown: The gaffer is the chief electrician on the project; the key grip puts together and takes down sets, as well as lighting and laying the track on which the cameras move; and the best boy assists the gaffer and the key grip.***Thought for the Day: "Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'" -- Isaac Asimov(c) 2011 King Features Synd., Inc.

10 REASONSWhy Isagenix® is Your Anti-Aging Solution1. SLOW AGING FROM THE INSIDE OUTIsagenix Nutritional Cleansing and Replenishing™ products help eliminate harmful toxins and impurities from the body that can accelerate the aging process. These products also replenish the body with crucial nutrients for optimal health. The Rejuvity and other anti-aging products also address the need for optimal cellular nutrition that ultimately creates a new level of wellness, vitality, and youthful appearance from the inside out.

2. ADDRESS AGING ON ALL FRONTS-NOT JUST SKINThe skin is largely an indication of how the body is aging. If the body has been abused, neglected and malnourished, then the skin will reflect this. However, if the body’s cells, tissues and organs are protected from harmful pollutants and replenished with crucial nutrients, the skin will reflect this level of health by appearing vibrant, glowing and youthful.

3. NO HARSH CHEMICALS OR IRRITANTSThe anti-aging products in the Rejuvity and IsaDermix® lines do not use any harsh, irritating chemicals or compounds, including phthalates or parabens. Other common products that include harsh compounds often require downtime and may damage the skin further.

4. PROMOTE SKIN’S NATURAL PROCESSESAgeless Renewal Serum and other anti-aging skin products help minimize the appearance of deep wrinkles, support collagen production, improve elasticity and tone, and increase firmness by helping the skin remember what it has forgotten as we age.

5. BOOST ENERGY, VITALITY, AND OVERALL HEALTHIn addition to the superior skin care, Rejuvity and other Isagenix Nutritional Cleansing and Replenishing products slow biological aging of the entire body, leading to enhanced energy and a new level of vitality and improved overall wellness.6. SUPPORTED BY SCIENCEAll of the ingredients in Rejuvity and the other Isagenix anti-aging and replenishing products are supported by scientific research. In addition, many of the company’s own products - including Ageless Renewal Serum - have been specifically investigated in scientific trials with extremely positive results. A recent trial on Ageless Renewal Serum showed a 92% increase in the overall improvement of the skin, and the CoQ10 used in Ageless Actives has been shown to be 800% more absorbable than standard powder forms used in other products.

7. SUPERIOR QUALITYIsagenix prides itself in using only the highest quality ingredients. With Rejuvity and other anti-aging product lines, this commitment to quality continues.8. UNMATCHED INGREDIENT FORMULATIONSAll of the Isagenix product lines boast unmatched ingredient profiles you can’t find in any other product. These include the growth factors, polypeptides and actives in Ageless Renewal Serum, the lipid-based CoQ10 in Ageless Actives, and many more.

New Tools Unveiled for Consumer Safety

If you're concerned that you might not be getting all the available information about food and product safety recalls, you're likely right. Until now, this information has been scattered around different websites on the Internet. Now we have one place to go: www.fda.gov/safety/recalls.The same law responsible for this website also has given the Food and Drug Administration the authority to issue food recalls, instead of waiting for companies and manufacturers to do that.The new FDA website opens with handy tabs across the page, linking to All Recalls, Food, Drugs, Animal Health, Biologics and Medical Devices.

By clicking on a tab you'll see the newest recall at the top, with older recalls down the page. Click the text icon in the Photo column and you'll see the original press release listing dates of manufacture, lot

numbers and model numbers of recalled goods. Click the photo graphic, and you'll find an image of the packaging or wrapper.Use the search box to find items you don't see on the lists, or sign up to receive recalls and safety alerts. For recalls more than 60 days old, you'll have to check the archives.And if having a comprehensive recall site isn't enough, we now have an online database where we can post complaints about safety issues on consumer products. This site -- a long time coming and the subject of some heated debates in Congress and the manufacturing world -- allows consumers a voice as well as being a repository for what others have to say about product safety. SaferProducts.gov will grow as it's used, as people file complaints

and information on its wide variety of products.Besides allowing consumers to file a report, businesses can sign up and respond. To read what others are saying, your best bet is to do an advanced search, uncheck the Recall info and only select Reports, which are from other consumers. Then do a keyword search for your item or even for situations, such as toys that have caused injury. In some cases, manufacturers already are responding to consumer complaints and giving them company contact information.At this point, the website isn't laid out for computer monitors that are not widescreen, but they'll likely fix that as time goes on.

David Uffington regrets that he cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into his column whenever possible. Write to him in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or send e-mail to [email protected].

Food Fun (continued):• In 1930, Ruth Wakefield was making chocolate

cookies at the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. She ran out of baking chocolate so she broke a bar of semi-sweet chocolate into little pieces and added them to the dough. When the cookies came out of the oven, the chocolate hadn’t melted. Instead there were little chips of chocolate scattered throughout the cookie. She called her new creation Toll House Crunch Cookies. She later sold the recipe to Nestle. No one can eat just one! In 1853, at the Moon Lake Lodge in Saratoga Springs, New York, a diner sent an order of french fries back to the kitchen because they were too thick. The chef, George Crum, remade the fries thinner this time, but the customer sent those back too. Crum decided to teach the diner a lesson, so he sliced a potato paper-thin and fried it until it was crisp. The customer loved them. Soon other customers were asking for potato chips. Today, in the United States, a pound of potato chips costs 200 times more than a pound of potatoes.

• Sometimes, a little change can yield big results. American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one olive from each salad served in first-class.

• The phrase “busy as a bee” has roots in reality. To make just two pounds of honey, bees have to visit four million flowers, traveling a distance equal to four times around the earth.

• If you find yourself on the wrong end of a bee and get stung, grab an onion. This root vegetable contains a mild antibiotic that tames bee stings and also fights infections, soothes burns and relieves the itch of athlete’s foot.
