Research suggests that in 2020, the average American consumed around 264 pounds of meat over the course of the year. In contrast, similar data gathered in 2017 confirmed that the average consumption of legumes was just 12 pounds. So, weâre just gonna say it: beans are underrated.

April 11, 2025 –Longer days, slightly warmer weather, and more sunshine are arguably some of the best things about spring. But itâs also a season of new beginnings. Many animals, like wolves, bears, deer, and foxes, have their babies during this time of year, and after a long winter, many new plants start to sprout up from the ground. The first sight of daffodils, for example, is considered by many to be a sign that spring is on the way.

The origins of the Reuben sandwich are a mystery. Some say that he started his life in Omaha, Nebraska, for example, when a grocer called Reuben Kulakofsky whispered him for some local poker players during a late evening match at the Blackstone Hotel in the 1920s. The sandwich was a success and, therefore, he reached the hotel’s permanent menu. Others say that this sandwich was not invented in Omaha, but in New York, by the rich restaurateur Arnold Reuben and his family.
