The hamlet was named after Wainscott, Kent, a village north of Maidstone, England, an area immortalized in Charles Dickens ' Great Expectations and from which most of the early settlers of East Hampton came.

Eating healthy costs $1.50 more per day only if your time has no value. Fresh food has to be prepared, and that takes time and effort. The true cost of fresh food has to factor in the value put into its preparation, and that's why so many people eat out.
Our literature search did not reveal any work published in the last 10 years that estimates the costs of current eating patterns in the United States; however, a 1999 study by FrazÃ£o estimates that healthier diets in the United States would annually prevent $70.9 billion (in 1995 dollars) in medical costs, lost productivity, and the value of premature deaths associated with four health conditions: CHD, cancer, stroke, and diabetes.
