TIDBITS® EATS by Janet Spencer The word “vegetable” comes from the Latin “vegetabilis” meaning growing and flourishing. To grow and flourish, eat your vegetables while digesting these vegetable facts! IS IT A FRUIT OR A VEGGIE? • A fruit is the mature ovary of a flower which contains a seed. A vegetable is any part of a plant which is not an ovary, such as a root, tuber, stem, or leaf. That means that tomatoes, cucumbers, squashes, melons, peapods, avocado, and peppers are all fruits, not vegetables. If it’s got seeds in it, it’s a fruit. Even grains such as rice, wheat, and corn are technically fruits. Nuts are a fruit, too. It’s only our culture that has deemed anything sweet a fruit and anything not sweet a vegetable. • Many plants surround their seeds with a sweet flesh in order to encourage animals to eat it, thereby spreading the seeds. But plants need to hold onto their roots, leaves, and stems to survive, so there’s no reason to make those parts taste especially good. • Potatoes are the most popular vegetable in the U.S., followed by tomatoes (actually a fruit; see next page) and iceberg lettuce. • Most Americans eat one or two serving of fruits and veggies per day, whereas the recommended amount is five to six per day.

You’re Always Welcome Pastor CW Slaton
• As the ripened ovary of a seed plant, the tomato is technically a fruit. The Tariff Act of 1883 levied a 10% tax on vegetables being imported while fruits entered the country duty-free. The Port Authority of New York classified tomatoes as vegetables which should be taxed, while a fruit importer argued that tomatoes were fruits, which were not taxed. The case went all the way to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court declared that although tomatoes are botanically a fruit, they are more commonly used as a vegetable and should be considered a vegetable by law. The tax remained. • Sweet potatoes are a member of the morning glory family, a vine. Potatoes are a member of the nightshade family, which is not a vine. Yams are from an African tropical vine that isn’t related to either the sweet potato or the potato but is related to lilies and grasses. Sweet potatoes have orange, red, or yellow skin and pale yellow flesh. True yams have a black or brown skin that looks like bark, and either white, purple, or red flesh. • It’s true that a vitamin A deficiency can cause blindness and that carrots contain vitamin A. But eating carrots won’t even begin to affect your eyesight unless your eyesight is bad specifically because of a vitamin A deficiency. Actually, carrots don’t exactly contain vitamin A; they contain carotene, which the liver converts to vitamin A. By the way: Carotene is the chemical which makes carrots orange. If you ingest enough carotene, it will turn your skin a yellow-orange color. Are baby carrots really babies? No, they are really just a thin-stalked variety that is then cut into baby shapes. The first carrots that were grown, native to Afghanistan, were purple in color. Orange carrots later originated in Holland.

• Onions make you cry because they are full of sulfuric chemicals, which irritate your tear ducts. Sulfur is the same gas which is produced by volcanoes when they erupt. • Yam comes from the African word “njam” meaning “to eat.” • The old French word “caboche” meaning “head” gave us our head of cabbage. Cabbage is one of the most nutritious vegetables, high in anti-oxidant and antiinflammatory compounds. • Corn is a member of the grass family. Each ear has an average of 800 kernels. • Cool as a cucumber? The inside of a cucumber can be 20 degrees cooler than the outside of a cucumber. • Asparagus spears can grow an inch a day in warm weather. •California grows 90% of the U.S. avocado crop. • Ripe red bell peppers contain twice as much vitamin C by weight as citrus fruits. • A single tomato plant was once documented to have produced 16,897 tomatoes. • The original eggplant had a small white fruit that looked like an egg. The large purple eggplants are in the same family and bear the same name. • The average American eats about 126 lbs. of potatoes annually. • Romaine lettuce has more nutrients than any other kind of lettuce. The darker the leaf, the more nutritious the lettuce. • Coconut is actually a fruit. • Before the days of refrigerated trucks, loads of lettuce would be heaped with mounds of ice to preserve them while being shipped, hence the name “iceberg” lettuce.

• Sweet potatoes have more vitamin A than any other vegetable. The cantaloupe is higher in vitamin A than any other fruit. • In the 1960s at Chicago’s Ambassador East Hotel, a major bash was held, during which one of the local celebrities was served a Bloody Mary with no swizzle stick to stir it with. He grabbed a celery stick from a vegetable tray and used that to stir his drink instead, leading to a new fad. • Jello introduced a new line of flavors intended for salads: mixed vegetable, tomato, and celery. No one bought. • It would take over 300 celery sticks to equal the average human’s daily ration of calories. • Artichokes are one of the oldest foods known to humans. Marilyn Monroe was the first official California Artichoke Queen in 1947. • Dietary fiber found in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables is not found in animal products.
• In the 1930s a scientist studying the mineral properties of spinach accidentally misplaced a decimal point, leading researchers to believe that there was ten times as much iron in spinach as there actually is. The myth that spinach is extraordinarily high in iron still survives. Spinach has iron, but many foods, including soy beans, peas, beets, lima beans, lentils, liver, molasses, oysters, apricots, walnuts, and sunflower seeds have more. In order to get your requirement of iron from spinach alone, you’d have to eat twice your body weight of the stuff yearly. This would be a bad idea because spinach also contains oxalic acid, and ingesting that much oxalic acid could cause kidney stones. Boiling spinach will reduce the level of oxalic acid. Still, when Popeye started eating spinach, sales soared.

Amazing Animals HORSES • A horse can sleep either laying down or standing up. • Horses have larger eyes than any other land mammal. Because the eyes are located on the sides of their heads, they can see in nearly a full circle. • Horses can gallop at about 27 mph but the fastest recorded horse sprinted at 55 mph. • A horse cannot vomit. • The teeth of a horse show the animal’s age. When the owner of a horse for sale says it’s a young animal, the buyer is wise to inspect the teeth in order to get that information “straight from the horse’s mouth.” • When horses are “rough-shod” they have shoes which have the ends of the nails sticking out. This gives the horse more traction, but it tears up the ground the animal travels over. When someone “rides rough-shod” over another person, they are trampling the ground beneath them without caring. • When a jockey is so far ahead of the rest of the horses in a race that he doesn’t even have to lift the reins anymore, he rises from his crouch over the horse’s withers and puts his hand on the pommel of the saddle, thereby winning the race “hands down.” • Nervous race horses are sometimes given goats as companions in their stalls, which helps calm them down. Gamblers sometimes steal the goat of a horse that they want to do badly in a race. Today we bother other people when we “get their goat.” • When early day pioneers reached the Palouse River in Idaho, they found the Indians there riding a particular type of spotted horse. They called them “Palousez” horses, which are now known as Appaloosa.
Why do mushrooms get invited to all the vegetable parties? Because they are such fungis (fun guys, get it!)
• Edward Smith Stanley, 12th Earl of Derby, was friends with Sir Charles Bunbury. Both fellows enjoyed breeding horses. Together the two gentlemen founded a new horse race- a one mile springtime test of 3-year-old Thoroughbreds. However, before the first race could be held, it needed to be named. Which founder should the race be named after? There was only one way to settle the dispute. They flipped a coin, and that is why every spring we enjoy a derby instead of a bunbury. As consolation, Bunbury’s horse won the first derby. • The famous racehorse Man o’ War was the first animal whose obituary and biography appeared in the list of celebrities compiled by major press associations. • Moifaa was a well-known racehorse in the early part of this century. In 1904 the ship that was bringing him from New Zealand to England was sunk in a storm. Moifaa nearly drowned, but washed up still alive on an island. He wandered around the island for two weeks before he was rescued. He was sent to England and entered in the Grand National Steeplechase against 25 other horses. He won. • Bing Aman and Mart Jordan were two race horses who finished in a dead heat at the Gravesend Race Track in New York in 1873. So they ran the race again, and again they ended in a dead heat. The third time they tied as well, and the fourth race was as close as could be, but the judges ruled in favor of Bing Aman by a nose. The crowd didn’t agree. They rioted and destroyed a good deal of the track. • Gardening columnist Mike Klingman decided to see whose fertilizer was the best for tomatoes. He collected manure from all horses that finished on top in the Preakness Stakes and planted seedlings in the individually fertilized soil. The biggest tomatoes were grown in soil fertilized by a local nag who had never even seen the racetrack.

NEWSPAPERS
But fun filled enjoyable free papers are not!!! In fact, free papers are on the rise across the country and Tidbits has the largest print readership in Linn and Johnson County. We have the audit to back this up as the others do not. Why pay for yesterday’s news when you’ve already heard it somewhere else? No one can print the news fast enough to be the first on the street anymore. We don’t try to promote what can be easily found elsewhere. Like all other media, regardless of it being a newspaper, direct mailer, radio, TV, or internet based marketing, businesses need to market who they are and what they can offer you. So why not market with a free paper that has the best readership around?! There are over three hundred Tidbits publishers across the country paying for the same fun content you enjoy as a reader, rather than the high prices that national news organizations charge to run their stories. So if you want to work with companies that can keep their marketing cost down, tell them how much you enjoy reading the Call today for more information about marketing.

• Three-quarters of all raisins consumed in the U.S. are eaten at breakfast. • Avocados are one of the few fruits that contain fat. An avocado has about 300 calories and 30 grams of fat, making it 22% fat. A banana has only 0.6 grams of fat. • Olives are another fatty fruit. Ten black olives have about 50 calories and 4 grams of fat. • Oranges will not ripen after being picked, but lemons will. • True cantaloupes only grow in Europe. The American version is actually a muskmelon. Same family, same genus, different species. Cantaloupe were named after the town which was named after the Cantaluppi Castle in Italy. Cantaloupes are rarely exported and very difficult to find in the U.S. • The most popular berry in the U.S. is the strawberry. Blueberry comes in second. • Cranberries only grow in swampy bogs. Some cranberry beds will produce fruit for more than a century. • Every raspberry is really a conglomeration of hundreds of tiny individual fruits, each one containing a seed. • Blueberries contain more antioxidants per serving than any other fruit or vegetable, according to the USDA. More blueberries are grown in the state of Maine than anywhere else in the world. Blueberries are one of the few foods that are naturally blue in color. • Grapes are one of the oldest cultivated fruits and there are more varieties of grape produced in the world than any other fruit. • Until the mid-1800s the most popular, cheapest, and most widely available beverage (besides water) was apple cider. • Today the most popular juice is orange juice. • Strawberries are a member of the rose family. Americans eat about five pounds per year on average. • The only fruit with green flesh? Kiwi fruit. • Nectarines are a member of the rose family. Only one gene separates a nectarine from a peach: the fuzziness gene. • One type of Mexican papaya can weigh up to ten pounds. • Watermelon flesh is 97% water.
TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR. JIM COYLE “G.P.S.” “Guide thru Personal Storms” (Pt 2) The biggest fight in our life is what is in our head. The things we think about can consume us and hold us hostage or they can set us free. The mind is the most powerful tool in our life. The most difficult task we will ever face is learning how to control our thoughts rather than allowing our thoughts to control us. An old Native American Legend talks of an Indian Chief who was very powerful and led his tribe and life with conviction and passion. The Indian Chief’s grandson sat on his lap one day and said, “When I grow up I want to be a brave warrior and Chief just like you.” The grandpa looked down at his grandson and said, “Son, there are two wolves in this life. There is a bad wolf and there is a good wolf. The bad wolf will growl at you, he will chase you, and pin you down. He will put you in a corner and not let you move. He will manipulate you and fill you with fear and guilt so you will be paralyzed, immobile, and in prison. Then there is a good wolf. He will walk beside you and protect you. He will guard you at night when you sleep. He will always be on the lookout for anything or anyone that is out to get you. He will companion you and be your strength.” So the grandson looked up at his grandpa and asked, “Which wolf wins?” The grandfather and brave Indian Chief said, “Whichever one you feed.”

Eat Healthy Now to Keep Active Sticking to a healthy diet now may
help with mobility as we age. So says a new study that looked at preventing or delaying a physical decline later. Continued physical function equates to continued independent living, so this study needs a close look. A portion of the Nurses’ Health Study looked at diet patterns of 54,762 women and compared their health to the Alternative Healthy Eating Index, checking in with them every four years between 1992 and 2008. Here’s what it learned: • Those with a healthy diet were less likely to develop physical impairments. • More fruit and vegetables; less sugared drinks, trans fats and sodium; and moderate intake of alcohol equated to reduced physical impairment later. • Foods with the biggest health impact were oranges, pears, apples, leaf lettuce and walnuts, although an overall healthy diet was more important than individual foods. The Nurses’ Health Study has been ongoing since 1976, and over the years it’s revealed a wealth of information about women’s health, courtesy of (so far) 275,000 participants. The Alternative Healthy Eating Index is a dietary guideline used by, among other things, the U.S. Department of Agriculture to monitor the quality of the American diet. The newest version, called the HEI-2010, gives each food value points. If you need help sorting out what constitutes a healthy diet (especially when it comes to portions), go online to choosemyplate.gov and look around. Did you know: A serving size of apples and oranges are not the same? Or that one slice of bread has the same value as a half cup of cooked pasta? Or that one egg and twelve almonds are equal? I didn’t. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

• The first voyage by the Clermont was met by the public with suspicion. Many referred to the boat as “Fulton’s Folly” due to its unusually long length and the smoke and fire associated with the vessel’s newfangled steam engine. Many thought it would blow up or sink on its first voyage; they were wrong! In fact, because Fulton wisely paid attention to passenger comfort, the Clermont became a very profitable vessel for transporting passengers to destinations on the Hudson River. Fulton subsequently formed and led a company offering services on six major rivers and the Chesapeake Bay.

• Following Fulton’s success, steamboats became a prime transporter of passengers and goods across the country. For example, in the steamboat port of New Orleans, 20 steamboat arrivals in 1814 increased to a whopping 1,200 arrivals by 1834. • The steamboat era in the United States until the 1870s, whenyourailroads If continued you’ve hated vegetables ever since were a kid, it’s very possible that just been started supplanting the you’ve steamboat as athe victim of terrible vegetables. preferred transporter of passengers and goods.

ROXANN CAN HELP! A lot of people have never had vegetables properly cooked. I remember what a revelation spinach was the first time I had it as an adult. As a child, the only way I had ever eaten (or rather been forced to eat) spinach was plain, at lukewarm temperature from a can. I had a bite of fresh spinach at a friend's house and had to ask what it was. I had never seen it before. Now it's one of my favorite vegetables.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver
● Over the past 100 years, the life expectancy of the average American has risen from 47 to 78. ● Those who study such things say that, on a per-capita basis, Canadians consume more macaroni and cheese than citizens of any other country in the world. ● Railroads in Japan have a persistent problem: turtles. It seems the reptiles have a habit of wandering onto the tracks, and many of them get stuck between the switching rails. This prevents the switches from closing properly, causing train accidents. To address the problem, the West Japan Railway Company consulted with the Suma Aqualife Park in Kobe; together, they created tunnels under the tracks to allow the turtles to pass freely without endangering railway passengers -- or themselves.
