You Are What You Eat: Nutrition and Health
The exhibit looked
at the eating habits of Americans, from the 19 Century to the modern day.
The introduction and evolution of healthy eating, food fads and diets
had been highlighted using selections from the John Crerar Library's historical
culinary arts and food sciences collection as well as from contributions
by staff members.
This exhibit was on display from February 7-June 11, 2005 in the atrium of the John Crerar Library at the University of Chicago.
