Question

Indians in North and South America ate popcorn thousands of years. Scientists found some ears of popcorn in New Mexico, a state in the United States. They were 5.600 years old. Farmers probably learned to raise popcorn first before they planted other kinds of corn. Farmers now raise popcorn in the United States, Australia, Argentina, South Africa and South Europe. Corn was an important food for the Indians. It was also important for the religion. When Columbus and other Europeans visited the New World, they saw this. When the Indians and Europeans had their first Thanksgiving, they ate popcorn. Today Thanksgiving is an important holiday in the United States, but people don’t usually eat popcorn for this holiday now. In the 1920s, people started selling popcorn at movies. Now most movie theaters in the United States sell popcorn. Popcorn and movie go together very well. Is popcorn good for you? Yes, it is. However, some people put a lot of salt and butter or vegetable oil on it. It tastes good that way, but it is not very good for you. 1.
