According to the Colombia University Mailman School of Public Health, Children engage in more obesity-related behaviors during the summer months. They consume more sugar and eat fewer vegetables. Its important to eat healthy as well as enjoy what their eating.
Hot dogs began their star turn in American life on Coney Island in 1871 when German immigrant Charles Feltman began hot dogs in milk buns from a stand on what was known as America’s Boardwalk. His business thrived, given people’s hearty appetite for a tasty, inexpensive and easy-to-eat food in a resort environment. By the turn of the century, push carts selling frankfurters in buns were becoming a hallmark of New York City that they are today.
