Serously, however, I did read somewhere some other guy got a patent on a peanut butter making machine around the turn of the century. Still, Carver really helped popularize that as well as all peanut products. A day at the ballpark sure would be different without a bag of peanuts.
Carver created paint piments, cosmetics, medicines, charcoal briquettes, peanut farming and storage techniques, did work on bringing the cost of farm impliments down so poor farmers could buy them. He worked on soil conservation methods and on and on and on.
That is the kind of man ALL Americans should aspire to be.
