Where Our Men are Fighting, Our Food is Fighting

Subject

World War II Propaganda

Description

Food crate being parachuted down accompanied with two soldiers. FDR's administration valued food. They constantly told the home front population how important it was. They endorsed the policy of having Americans grow their own food because it provided a way for the home front to be involved in the war effort. In addition, it meant that food being grown on farms could be dropped off and sent to American soldiers, instead of being shipped to grocery stores. Conserving and growing their own food meant that more food could be allocated to troops, and food was able to fight twice.
