What I Learned Today

My uncle used to have a tradition with his family, where he would ask my cousins to tell him one new thing they learned that day before they started eating. I'll try to keep that up to space out my nutrition diary entries and hopefully keep some readers interested.

• American Presidents used to wait to be inaugurated until March 4. This was tradition from 1798-1933.
  
  
• New Bedford, MA, was at one time one of the richest towns in the world, thanks to the demand for whale products in the 19th century.
