Today is: Let's All Eat Right Day
Let's All Eat Right Day celebrates Adelle Davis, an influential nutritionist of the mid-20th century, who decried food additives and championed whole, unprocessed foods. These ideas were often seen as eccentric at the time, but are mainstream beliefs today. It was her thought that food played a huge role in health and could prevent disease and illness and help people recover from disease and illness. Beyond this, she thought healthy eating could help heal some of society's other ills.
She was born Daisie Adelle Davis on Feb. 25, 1904, in Lizton, Indiana. She studied economics at Purdue University for two years, before transferring to the University of California at Berkeley and earning a bachelor's degree in household science.
