  + stars: | 2024-07-12 | by ( Cheyenne Devon | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
National French Fry is on Friday, July 12, and plenty of popular restaurant chains are offering freebies and deals to honor the holiday. Whether they're crinkle cut or curly, French fries are a favorite across the nation. The average American consumes around 34 pounds of French fries a year, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The origin of French fries is unclear, despite the name, according to Britannica. President Thomas Jefferson is often credited with introducing the dish to Americans after returning from France with a recipe for "deep-fried potatoes in small cuttings," per the Thomas Jefferson Foundation.

☆ Fact Check-‘Democracy is nothing more than mob rule’ quote falsely attributed to Thomas Jefferson
  + stars: | 2023-02-16 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
Former U.S. President Thomas Jefferson never said that “democracy is nothing more than mob rule,” contrary to claims on social media saying he made this statement. Users are sharing variations of this quote on Twitter (here) and Facebook (here), falsely attributing it to him. The website Monticello.org (www.monticello.org/), which is managed by the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, included this statement in a list of spurious quotations (here). Reuters has previously debunked other quotes falsely attributed to Jefferson (here), (here). There is no evidence a quote saying that “democracy is nothing more than mob rule” was said by Thomas Jefferson.
