by Kathy Wolfe Since September 18th is National Cheeseburger Day, Tidbits brings you the facts and figures on one of the world’s favorite meals. • The average American eats about three burgers a week, which translates to nearly 50 billion burgers consumed across the nation every year. About 70% of the beef served in commercial restaurants is made into burgers. • You might think cheeseburgers have been around just as long as hamburgers, but not so! In the late 1700s, German sailors and immigrants brought the “Hamburg Steak” (an entrée with origins in Hamburg, Germany) to New York City. The meat patty between two pieces of bread was a popular item along the New York harbor. The city’s famous Delmonico’s Restaurant featured a hamburger on their menu in 1834. The hamburger made its way out west, appearing on the menu of San Fernando, California’s Clipper restaurant from 1872 to 1884. Yet it seems that the hamburger didn’t look like it does today until 1891, when Oscar Bilby served burgers on a bun. The 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair gave the hamburger widespread attention. turn the page for more! Exit 91

CHEESEBURGERS (continued):

• The first records of cheeseburgers were in the 1920s. A Pasadena restaurant, the Rite Spot, claimed it was the first to serve a cheeseburger in 1926, when the owner’s 16-year-old son came up with the idea. A 1928 menu from a Los Angeles restaurant called O’Dell’s has a cheeseburger listed. Kaelin’s Restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky, says they invented the item in 1934. But the first person to apply for use of the word “cheeseburger” as a trademark was Louis Ballast of Denver’s Humpty Dumpty Drive-In. Ballast registered the name in 1935 and was awarded a trademark, but never made any claims on it. Steak ‘n Shake claims their restaurant’s founder, Gus Belt, was the first to apply for a trademark in the 1930s. • Jimmy Buffett’s popular 1978 hit “Cheeseburger in Paradise” led to a chain of successful restaurants. The song was inspired by a boat trip gone bad taken by Buffett and friends. Bad weather prevented the boat from landing as planned, and Buffett was forced to subsist on canned food and peanut butter, while constantly craving a cheeseburger. When he finally landed on the island of Tortola, his cravings were finally satisfied. There are now 19 Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants, although Buffett divested himself of his financial interest in the chain in 2012. • Ray Kroc was already in his late 50’s when he bought the McDonald’s company from the two McDonald brothers in 1961. Now the most successful fast food chain in the world, more than 75 burgers are sold every second of every day worldwide. McDonald’s hires about a million workers in America every year; in fact, about one in every eight American workers has been employed by McDonald’s at one time or another. Five and a half million head of cattle are needed to prepare the burgers served at the restaurants in one year.

CHEESEBURGERS (continued):

• In 1967, McDonald’s introduced “two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun,” the ever popular Big Mac. This cheeseburger with a middle slice of bread to help prevent spillage had two previous names, the Aristocrat and the Blue Ribbon Burger. When neither name seemed to catch on, a 21-yearold secretary in McDonald’s corporate advertising department, Esther Glickstein Rose, came up with the name Big Mac. The burger made its debut in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, with a selling price of 45 cents. By the following year, all the McDonald’s restaurants had added it to their menu. • Of the more than 13,000 Burger Kings in 79 countries, about 66% of those are in the United States. More than 11 million people eat at a Burger King somewhere in the world every day. The world’s third largest hamburger chain, BK got its start in Miami, Florida in 1953 as InstaBurger King. The Whopper was added to the menu in 1957. • Counting your calories? A Burger King cheeseburger has 360, and McDonald’s has 313. If you want a McD’s double cheeseburger, you’ll consume 459 calories. There are 550 calories in a Big Mac in the United States. In the United Kingdom, that burger is worth only 490 calories, while in Malaysia that number is 484. The lowest Big Mac calorie count is found in Chile at 478, with Japan have the highest at 557. It takes about 153 minutes of brisk walking to burn off the calories contained in a Big Mac. A slice of cheddar cheese adds about 113 calories to an ordinary burger. Q: Who are cheeseburgers’ favorite people? A: Vegetarians

“Life is too short to miss out on the beautiful things like a double cheeseburger.” – Channing Tatum

In 2012, a Minnesota casino cooked up the world’s largest cheeseburger, which weighed in at 2,014 lbs. (913.5 kg). It took a crane to lift it onto the bun that required seven hours of baking. It was ofﬁcially recorded by Guinness, after which the burger was sliced and given to guests for free.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● It was 19th-century Cuban poet and revolutionary Jose Marti who made the following sage observation: “Barricades of ideas are worth more than barricades of stones.”

● When you think of dangerous occupations, the jobs that immediately come to mind are probably firefighter and police officer. You might be surprised to learn, then, that in New York City, the fatality rate for garbage collectors is twice as high as it is for members of the NYPD. ● The flag of Ireland and the flag of Cote d’Ivoire are nearly identical, with vertical stripes of green, white and orange. There are only two minor differences: 1) The Irish flag has the green stripe on the left and the orange stripe on the right, while Cote d’Ivoire has the two colors reversed; and 2) the Irish flag is slightly longer.

● A pregnant goldfish is known as a twit. ● The U.S. Open, which takes place at the end of summer every year, is one of the oldest tennis championships in the world, beginning in 1881 with a men’s singles competition. The modern competition, of course, now includes men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles and mixed doubles. That’s a lot of tennis -- and a lot of balls. During the two weeks of the championship, approximately 70,000 tennis balls are used. ● In 2012, at a hospital in Ireland, twin girls set a Guinness World Record when they were born 87 days apart -- and they confounded medical experts’ gloomy prognosis by both surviving. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

• In case an ordinary cheeseburger isn’t your “cup of tea,” the Texas-based restaurant chain known as the Twisted Root Burger Company offers a variety of unusual game burgers, including venison, kangaroo, beaver, ostrich, emu, boar, alligator, and camel burgers. • How about a cheeseburger that uses glazed doughnuts in place of a bun? Nicknamed The Luther after singer/ songwriter Luther Vandross, who had a weakness for this burger, it can total between 800 and 1,500 calories. You can cut the caloric intake by eliminating the chocolate-covered bacon. • If you’re feeling really hungry, stop by the BGR Burger Joint in Washington, D.C. and order up The 9-Pounder. This cheeseburger’s final weight is actually 15.4 lbs. after being topped with two heads of lettuce, eight tomatoes, three onions, and four whole pickles. Although it can feed between 10 and 15 people, if one person can eat the whole thing in one sitting, it’s free. The restaurant generously includes a free bottle of Maalox. • New York City’s Serendipity 3 restaurant offers Le Burger Extravagant, a Japanese Wagyu beef burger infused with white truffle butter, seasoned with smoked Pacific sea salt, topped with “NATIONAL” WORDS hand-formed cheddar(continued): cheese, black • truffles, French: and Chefsa fried know quail what itegg. means The tobun “french” a food item.

• Colombian: This term means different things to different people, depending on how you get your “jones.” Narcotics dealers may refer to their products as Colombian, although the actual source is often unknown. Luckily, the majority of us prefer a bit of legal Colombian, as in the coffee grown in the South American nation. The prevalence of coffee shops throughout America is proof enough that many of us just can’t get along in the morning without a hot cup of Colombian. • Chinese: The generic term “chinese” now represents types of food that are very different from the meals that are (or ever were) served in China. That said, the same argument could be made about what we consider “American” food. Hamburgers? Ice cream? Hot dogs? Pizza? Our national favorites seem to have originated everywhere except in the United States!

AVOCADOS

In celebration of National Guacamole Day on September 16, Tidbits looks into the facts on the avocado. • The word “avocado” comes from the Aztec word ahuacatl. The ancient Aztecs prepared guacamole in a molcajete, which was a mortar and pestle tool carved from volcanic rock. Clear back in the 1500s when Spanish explorers encountered the Aztecs, that civilization was making ahuaca-mulli, which translates “avocado mixture.” • Native to Central and South America, cultivation of avocados in the United States began the early 1900s. Major producers of this fruit are Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Colombia, and the state of California, which grows 90% of America’s crop. There are about 7,000 avocado groves in the Golden State, with San Diego County designated the Avocado Capital of the U.S. • Lots of folks think that the avocado is a vegetable, but it’s actually the fruit of the Persea Americana tree, a tall evergreen that grows up to 65 feet in height. One tree can produce about 50 avocados a year. The fruits will not ripen on the tree, and must be picked in order to initiate the ripening process. The avocado, a singleseeded berry, has been nicknamed the alligator pear because of its shape and rough green skin. • We often think of the banana as having the highest measure of potassium, while in fact, there is twice the potassium in one avocado than there is in one banana, 975 mg. compared to 487 mg. The avocado also has one of the highest amounts of protein in a fruit, with 4 grams in one avocado. One medium avocado also has 10 grams of fiber. • The health benefits of the avocado are many, including a rich supply of 18 essential amino acids, which are important for the body’s protein-building process. The fruit is an excellent source of the carotenoid lutein, essential for eye health, reducing the risk of macular degeneration and cataracts. • It’s true that the avocado is very high in fat – about 85% of its calories come from fat, about 20 times the average for other fruits. However, 20 of the 30 grams of fat in one serving of the avocado are beneficial ones, sterols that keep the body’s inflammation under control. Its anti-inflammatory properties have proven beneficial to those suffering from arthritis. The fruit contributes to cardiovascular and heart health as well. It helps boost “good” cholesterol, while lowering the “bad.” Research is also underway to study the avocado’s ability to prevent certain kinds of cancer, including the mouth, skin, and prostrate. • Avocados are good for the outside of the body, too! Their amino acids and essential oils help repair damaged hair, provide moisture for dry skin, and treat sunburns. • Brazilians enjoy the flavor of avocados so much, they mix them in with ice cream as a very popular dessert item there. • If you need to use your avocados and they aren’t ripe, you can speed up that process by placing them in a brown paper bag with an apple or a banana, either of which will release ethylene gas that helps the avocados ripen more rapidly.

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR. JIM COYLE

Boot Camp

No matter what you hear, where you turn, or what you watch, the message is loud and clear: The World is in a mess. The Bible is very clear on predicting the times we are in and the times to come. The picture the world is painting isn’t pretty for tomorrow, but the portrait of God is being hand painted for our victory. We need to equip ourselves and train our kids for the battle we are in right now and the battle we are facing tomorrow. Here are a few things we should know and do: know the battleground, prepare yourself, know your enemy, use the Word, fight, and rest at the end of the day. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. We will learn how to use our head, our heart, and our hands to walk forward in the fight of our lives. Be encouraged as we face circumstances where we will need each other and the Holy Spirit to keep moving forward in the face of battle.

Late September or early October is not too soon to get your flu shot. Now would be a good time to plan for it. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the flu season can start as early as the beginning of October. Did you know: There’s a special highdose flu vaccine for seniors age 65 and older? The reason is that the regular dose doesn’t always protect us because our immune system often is weakened. This vaccine is four times as strong, setting up a better immune response. Did you know: That Medicare will pay for the vaccine? (As will most insurance under the Affordable Care Act.) Did you know: You don’t have to go to your doctor to get the flu shot. There are numerous other locations. To find a flu shot in your area, begin scouting the Internet at sites like cvs.com or flushot.healthmap.org, or call your local pharmacy. MEDICARE OPEN ENROLLMENT Open enrollment for Medicare begins Oct. 15 to change from the Original to an Advantage Plan, or vice versa. Don’t confuse this with the Health Insurance Marketplace, which opens enrollment a month later. As a Medicare beneficiary, it’s illegal for a Marketplace company to sell you a Marketplace plan, so don’t be taken in. But there is a caveat: If you have a Marketplace plan and think you’ll sign up for Medicare later, beware that you might be subject to a lifelong penalty if you enroll late. Because of the variety of situations (Marketplace versus Medicare, Part A versus Parts A and B), your best bet is to get advice from Medicare before the signup period begins if you’re now moving from Marketplace to Medicare. Call them at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800633-4227).
