Colorful Scenes, Healthy Recipes Bring Great Moments in Food History to Life

A fun and educational new calendar offered by the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) salutes the men and women whose innovations have changed the way we eat and live. The AICR 2003 "Pioneers of Healthy Eating" wall calendar features whimsical illustrations that make the past come alive. Each month, a different turning point in food history is depicted in luminous color, along with practical tips and healthy recipes these milestones have inspired.

In February, enjoy a humorous depiction of brave Colonel Robert Gibbon Johnson eating a tomato on the steps of a New Jersey courthouse to prove to a crowd of skeptical American colonists that tomatoes aren't poisonous. When April comes around, let George Washington Carver expound on the versatility of the peanut – and give you a great recipe for a peanut snack mix that's easy to make and healthy too!

In June, the Earl of Sandwich deals you in to the game of cards at which he (may have) invented the sandwich, and tells you how to make a delicious, veggie-centered lunch. In September, learn how and why John Chapman became "Johnny Appleseed," (and get a great recipe for Turkey Apple Breakfast Sausage while you're at it.)

The Boston Tea Party, the first supermarket, the origin of chili, the cookbook that started it all – all these and more are featured in AICR's "Pioneers of Healthy Eating."

Each of the calendar's simple, tasty and nutritious recipes is printed on a detachable card for easy reference all year long. Lovingly illustrated by Chris Stephens with a series of colorful, panoramic scenes, the AICR 2003 calendar will make a welcome addition to any kitchen.
