During WWII, as Canada struggled to provide its allies with food, nutritionists warned that malnutrition could derail the war effort. Posters admonished women and children to “Eat Right, Feel Right” because “Canada Needs You Strong” while cookbooks helped housewives become “housoldiers” through food rationing, menu substitutions, and household production. Food Will Win the War explores the symbolic and material transformations that food and eating underwent during the war and the profound social, political, and cultural changes that took place in the 1940s. Through official food guides and policies, the state took unprecedented steps into the kitchens of the nation, transforming the way women cooked, what their families ate, and how people thought about food. Canadians, in turn, rallied around food and nutrition to articulate new visions of citizenship for their postwar future.

Excerpt from War Time Control of Distribution of Foods: A Short History of the Distribution Division of the United States Food Administration, Its Personnel and Achievements In the attempt to present a brief history of the Dis tribution Division of the United States Food Adminis tration, we have found it quite impossible to treat the activites of this division apart from that of the whole Food Administration. The work of all divisions was so closely inter-related that it is difficult to point to a single achievement of any division which could have been effected without the closest cooperation and assistance from a number of Divisions which had charge of other phases of the activity. However, as we do not wish to write a history of the Food Administration as a whole, a task which has been left to other hands, we shall confine ourselves largely to a statement of the relation of the Distribution Divi sion to the main Food Administration program. The fact that space does not permit us to refer especially to the activities of other divisions should not in any way detract from the importance of the service rendered by them, nor is it intended to qualify in any degree the previous statement that many of the achievements mentioned could not have been accomplished but for the coiiperation of all branches of the Food Adminis tration.
