Beginning of the 1970’s, people were consuming less back then as of today. In the 1970’s we had approximately millions of people who were healthy and eating good than now.

And so he waves the chip and the baby reaches out for it…

The fact that these Indians are much less likely to have cancer, could be affected by many factors throughout their heritage. But the grass…

The origins of the slow cooker can be traced to 1936, when Irving Naxon applied for a patent for a slow cooker. This slow cooker would have the crock integrated into the heating element. The crock was not yet removable, but the design made it so that food could be cooked on a low temperature for a long period of time. Naxon received the patent in 1940 and brought the product to market in the 1950s as the Naxon Beanery, meant to be able to cook beans for a long period of time. In the 1970s,…
