FOOD FIGHTS FOR FREEDOM
by Beulah Burnelle
Next to bonds, food is the word we hear most about these days. Food Fights for Freedom-food for our fighting men, food for our allies, and, not least of all, food here on the home production front.
But, just any food won't do. It has to be food that provides health, and food that's available. That's fightin' food.
We all know that the nation's No. 1 food is enriched flour, because it is not only a nourishing ingredient, but is also the basis of many food extenders. Some of these are biscuits, gravies, cakes, and pastries which are used to make scarce food go farther and feed more people.
There are two ways of using food as a tool of war. Hitler uses starvation as a weapon, trying to beat the conquered peoples into submission. Ours is the good old American way of helping to supply food where people are suffering and starving. That's what is meant by "Food Fights for Freedom."
We may not get all the food we want, but let's try to eat as much nourishing food as we possibly can. Then we can all be proud of the part American food is playing in this war.
