EDITORS COMMENTS
- This powerful poster, created in 1917 by the United States Food Administration, emphasizes the importance of perseverance and the role of proper nutrition in winning the war effort. The image shows a group of soldiers in uniform, each carrying a bayonet and running tirelessly, with the caption "Send - the wheat, meat, fats, sugar" below. The United States Food Administration was established during World War I to ensure the efficient production and distribution of food supplies to the military and the American people. With the country at war and resources stretched thin, the Administration launched a campaign to encourage citizens to conserve food and send their surplus to the troops. This poster is a visual representation of the Administration's message, using the metaphor of soldiers as the embodiment of the nation's collective strength. The soldiers' determination and unwavering forward motion are symbolic of the country's commitment to the war effort and the importance of providing them with the necessary fuel to sustain their stamina. The poster's list of items to be sent - wheat, meat, fats, and sugar - highlights the importance of a balanced diet in maintaining the physical and mental well-being of the soldiers. These essential nutrients were crucial for providing the energy and sustenance needed to carry out the demands of military service. Overall, this poster serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and the importance of unity, perseverance, and proper nutrition in achieving victory.
