...So I’ll simply share a post that I wrote some time ago during a filming stay in the Kirtland/Mentor area of Ohio, where President James A. Garfield originated:
James A. Garfield is largely forgotten today because he was shot only one hundred days into his presidency and died roughly a hundred days later. If the statements that survive him are any indication, though, he might have been a very good president:
...Man cannot live by bread alone; he must have peanut butter...

“Man cannot live on bread alone. He must also have peanut butter.” This quote often attributed to James Garfield.
But since today is #NationalPeanutButterDay, we have to admit...he never said it.

and in case you're interested...
The actual invention of peanut butter, its process of manufacture and the machinery used to make it, can be credited to at least three doctors/inventors. In 1884 Marcellus Gilmore Edson of Canada patented peanut paste, the finished product from milling roasted peanuts between two heated surfaces. In 1895 Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (the creator of Kellogg's cereal) patented a process for creating peanut butter from raw peanuts. He marketed it as a healthy protein substitute for patients without teeth. In 1903, Dr. Ambrose Straub of St. Louis, Missouri, patented a peanut-butter-making machine...
Garfield was assassinated
in 1881.
