Title
Every Child Needs A Good School Lunch
Subject
Nutrition propaganda
Description
Cartoon boy and girl playing catch. Real boy eating a nutritious meal. Healthy nutrition and access to food was very important to FDR's administration. This poster told the home front that children's nutrition was especially important. In addition, this propaganda poster also invites children to take part of their own nutrition, and demonstrates that they are valued members of society. This paves the way to the idea that children could participate in the war effort, as well as receive better nutrition if they grew a victory garden.
