The term “TV dinner” started all because of Thanksgiving turkey. Gerry Thomas, a salesman from the Swanson Company, created the company’s first frozen dinners in 1953, when he saw that the company had 260 tons of frozen turkey (11) after Thanksgiving. Thomas had the idea to add other holiday dishes such as cornbread stuffing and sweet potatoes, and to display them (12) the turkey in frozen trays designed to be heated in the oven.

Humans have been drinking coffee for centuries, but there have been mixed messages about its effects on human health for decades. In the past, coffee was associated with increased health risks. However, research from the last decade has found that drinking coffee may actually benefit our health.
Coffee has often been seen as a bad thing. Research findings from the 1980s and 90s reported that people who drank coffee had a higher risk of heart disease. Coffee also has been associated with an increased risk of cancer because of a certain substance it contains. The same substance can be found in foods including toast, cakes, and chips.
However, according to Marc Gunter, a head researcher at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), new larger-scale studies have emerged over the last decade providing data from hundreds of thousands of coffee-drinkers. These data suggest that coffee consumption may have more health benefits than risks. In 2016, the IARC reported that coffee is not associated with cancer, unless it is drunk very hot–
above 65°C. Other research has found that coffee may have a protective effect; cancer patients who drank coffee tended to have less serious conditions than those who did not drink it.
In 2017, Gunter published a study that looked into the coffee-drinking habits of half a million people across Europe and their health conditions over a period of 16 years. It turned out that those who drank more coffee had a lower risk of dying from heart disease, stroke, and cancer. These findings echo those from other parts of the world, including the U.S. Gunter says there is enough evidence to confirm that people who drink up to four cups of coffee a day have fewer diseases compared to those who do not drink any. Moreover, drinking a cup of coffee every four hours can sustain your positive mood throughout the day.
Studies from the last ten years have shown support for the common belief that caffeine is the most popular psychoactive drug in the world. That is to say, drinking coffee, which is a natural source of caffeine, may improve a person’s mood and level of attention. So if you feel exhausted or overwhelmed at work, perhaps a coffee break is all it takes to bring back positive energy.
