WWII slideshow type film about nutrition during wartime. Possibly used in conjunction with 4H programs.
“Food for Victory,” “Food for Freedom,” and “Food for Defense” were all popular slogans with similar aims as the “Feed a Fighter” campaign. Extension in various states, or even down to the club level, sometimes used the terms interchangeably.
Several state Extension services produced leaflets with the title, “Food for Victory.” These were targeted primarily at audiences in an attempt to enroll them in the Victory Home and Garden program. The program had two major focuses — growing a home garden to insure your family would have an adequate supply of home produced foods; and, preserving enough food for good health during times of war. “One of the most important things families can do in the present emergency is to keep physically fit. Nutrition is a fundamental factor in physical fitness. Those families who are making a conscientious effort to improve their food habits are lining up for the nation’s defense and ultimate victory,” states a Nebraska “Food for Victory” publication.
