“Eat to Beat!  You can’t win a war if you’re not eating well.  Ah, war propaganda!  This image, and the following text are from The Sealtest Food Advisor – Fall 1942.

Yes, your eating—and the eating of all persons in this nation—has a lot to do with winning the War! First of all there’s conservation: the careful preparing, serving and eating of your daily foods, so that there will be no waste! Then, of course, there’s your health, and the health 0f the family. This country is physically as strong as its people. Balance those meals! See that they supply proper nutrition to youngsters and elders. Plan before you buy. And, morale has something to do with eating, too. A good, strong body, well-nourished, helps support high morale. Tasteful serving of meals, dishes with “eye-appeal”—these all have their place in building morale. Certainly, we have a big job to do—and we can do it.

Good tips for sure, but were all persons in this nation well fed during that era?
