I love my major and learning stupid facts I’ll never forget
(I texted Izzy this)
the stupidest fact I ever learned was that canned food, which existed in large quantity for the American public started during the civil war, did not get labels until 1905 meaning that people bought canned food and had no idea what they were buying for 40 years
it was campbell soup company that suggested putting labels on cans
also basically the civil war defined basically all of the food we eat in America which is crazy

A very engaging series of 30 potted histories of turning points in American food history. I think this one will be interesting even to those who are not food obsessives.
