(40 points)Text 1If you look on the Internet, you will see that almost every day of the year celebrates some kind of food. These “holidays” have become very popular across the United States. They often are trending stories on Twitter, and described in the U.S. media. They give people a chance to enjoy something they might not eat normally, like National Onion Ring Day, for example.Food holidays also give restaurants and other businesses a chance to promote their products.But where did these distinctly American “holidays” come from?Many are the invention of an Alabama man, John-Bryan Hopkins.

She told the Seattle Times, “In my humble opinion, I believe that food holidays will continue to grow in popularity online. Be
