The slogan makes a simple case: fish feed themselves in the water, so eating them spares the grain and livestock that the land produces. Posters like this were part of the wartime food conservation drive that the U.S. Food Administration, led by Herbert Hoover, ran in 1917 to supply American troops and Allied nations in Europe. Households were urged to observe meatless and wheatless days, and fish was promoted as a substitute for beef, pork and wheat. The campaign reached ordinary kitchens largely through posters and printed pamphlets.
