\"davisonAccording to HISTORY.com, John Adams believed that July 2nd was the correct date on which to celebrate the birth of American independence, and would reportedly turn down invitations to appear at July 4th events in protest.\u00a0 In a strange coincidence, President Adams passed away on July 4th, 1826.<\/p>\n

I think all Americans can agree, when it comes to the delicious seared meats and sides we enjoy this holiday \u2013 we\u2019re not going to quibble over a 200+ year-old argument. Instead, let\u2019s celebrate<\/em> the fun facts that make the Fourth of July a truly remarkable feast of the senses.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

More than 1 in 4:<\/strong> <\/strong> <\/strong>The chance that the hot dogs and pork sausages consumed on the Fourth of July originated in Iowa. The Hawkeye State was home to 19 million hogs & pigs as of March 1, 2011.<\/p>\n

6.8 billion pounds:<\/strong> <\/strong>Total production of cattle and calves in Texas in 2010. Chances are good that the beef hot dogs, steaks and cheese burgers on your backyard grill came from the Lone Star State, which accounted for about one-sixth of the nation\u2019s total production.<\/p>\n

6<\/strong>:\u00a0 Number of states in which the value of broiler chicken production was $1 billion or greater between December 2009 and November 2010. There is a good chance that one of these states \u2014 Georgia, Arkansas, North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi or Texas \u2014 is the source of your barbecued chicken.<\/p>\n

Over 1 in 3:<\/strong> <\/strong>The odds that your side dish of baked beans originated from North Dakota, which produced 36 percent of the nation\u2019s dry, edible beans in 2010. Another popular Fourth of July side dish is corn on the cob. Florida, California, Georgia, Washington and New York together accounted for 68 percent of the fresh market sweet corn produced nationally in 2010.<\/p>\n

Please Pass the Potato<\/strong>:\u00a0 Potato salad and potato chips are popular food items at many Fourth of July barbecues. Approximately half of the nation\u2019s spuds were produced in Idaho or Washington state in 2010.<\/p>\n

More than 3\/4<\/strong>:\u00a0 Amount of the nation\u2019s head lettuce production in 2010 that came from California. This lettuce may end up in your salad or on your burger.<\/p>\n

7 in 10<\/strong>:\u00a0 The chances that the fresh tomatoes in your salad came from Florida or California, which combined accounted for 71 percent of U.S. fresh market tomato production last year.<\/p>\n

Florida:<\/strong> <\/strong>The state that led the nation in watermelon production last year (750 million pounds).<\/p>\n

81 million<\/strong>:\u00a0 Number of Americans who said they have taken part in a barbecue during the previous year. It\u2019s probably safe to assume a lot of these events took place on Independence Day.<\/p>\n

And, here are a few Davison designed products that can help make your picnic a huge success (tomorrow or anytime during the summer):<\/p>\n
