In 1937, artist Joe Grant pitched an idea to Walt Disney about making a movie inspired by his English Springer Spaniel named Lady. His plot would be based on how the family dog may receive less attention when a new baby was in the house. The plot and the movie struggled through many iterations at Disney before being released as Lady and the Tramp on June 22, 1955. This movie has an iconic scene where Lady and Tramp share a plate of spaghetti and end up kissing at the end of the same noodle.
Pasta is the most common food group worldwide. It comes in various shapes, sizes, and dishes. Pasta is sometimes labeled as a common enemy of diets. Low-carbohydrate diets that cut out carbohydrates, like pasta, have become very popular. Since many low-carbohydrate and keto diets have become promoted, the amount of pasta eaten in both the United States and other countries has been decreasing. The reason appears to be related to pasta being considered a dangerous noodle because it can cause weight gain and is fattening.
