1. Sometimes frozen fruits and vegetables are more nutritious than fresh!
The longer that fruits or vegetables sit around waiting to be sold or eaten, the more nutrients they lose. But fruits and vegetables grown for freezing are usually frozen right after they're picked. Therefore, they have less time to lose their nutrients.

4. You're more likely to be hungry if you're cold.
5. Frankfurter sausages were first created in China
6. Within 2 hours of standing in daylight, milk loses between half and two-thirds of its vitamin B content
7. Bakers used to be fined if their loaves were under weight, so they used to add an extra loaf to every dozen, just in case -- hence, the expression "baker's dozen"

9. It has been traditional to serve fish with a slice of lemon since the Middle Ages, when people believed that the fruit's juice would dissolve any bones accidentally swallowed
10. The average person eats almost 1500 punds of food a year.
