WW1 Propaganda
This propaganda poster was made by the Food Administration program during WW1 to urge Americans to save food for the people fighting overseas. The Food Administration also put emphasis upon "meatless Mondays," where Americans were to avoid the consumption and selling of meat. In addition "wheat less Wednesdays," were also put into action. Other than the Food Administration, other administrations were formed to support the war and send war supplies, food and clothing to the oversea fighters. For instance, the Fuel Administration and the Liberty Loans.
