The slogan on this 1917 poster, "Food Will Win the War," was a direct appeal to American households during the first year of U.S. involvement in World War I. The Food Administration, led by Herbert Hoover, encouraged citizens to conserve wheat, meat, sugar and fats so that supplies could be sent to Allied troops and civilians in Europe. Posters like this one carried the message into kitchens and storefronts, asking families to observe meatless and wheatless days and to plant victory gardens. Its plain, urgent wording shows how the war effort reached ordinary home life.
