This is what God gives us" frames the produce it shows as a gift, asking viewers to meet the harvest with gratitude and care. It was issued by the United States Food Administration, which Herbert Hoover directed during World War I, as part of a national drive to cut back on wheat, meat, sugar and fats so more food could reach Allied troops and civilians in Europe. Fruit and vegetables were promoted as wholesome alternatives to scarcer staples, which turned everyday garden and market produce into a patriotic duty. Its calm, devotional tone is quieter than the urgent warnings found on many wartime posters.
