America may not be good at inventing food, but we’re FANTASTIC at taking food that already exists and making it better.  Thrillist put together a list of the most important FOOD INNOVATION from each state.  And they did a pretty good job, because a lot of these are going to be pretty hard to argue.  Well, except for North Dakota, they’ll argue.  Here are some highlights. 

A 32-year-old guy named Matt Howell was running in his first 10K earlier this month in Richmond, Virginia.  And around the three-mile mark, he saw another runner who’d COLLAPSED.  But luckily Matt’s been a firefighter and a PARAMEDIC for about ten years.  So he stopped to help, and realized the guy didn’t have a pulse.
