Feed a fighter" sets this poster apart by tying the家庭 food rationing directly to the soldier overseas: its slogans ask Americans to eat only what they need and waste nothing, so that "he and his family may have enough." Issued in 1918 by the United States Food Administration, the agency Herbert Hoover led after Congress created it in 1917, it belongs to a series of wartime appeals that asked civilians to conserve wheat, meat, and sugar voluntarily so that food could be shipped to Allied armies and to Europe. Posters like this one carried the Food Administration's message into homes, schools, and grocery stores, and they show how the war effort reached ordinary kitchens.
