How Britain Was Fed in War Time: Food Control, 1939-1945

Title
How Britain Was Fed in War Time: Food Control, 1939-1945
Description
Governments and institutions have long been prolific producers of spineless material: published acts, policy and research papers, reports, and leaflets offering information and advice. Such publications were an important means of spreading information and propaganda for the UK government during the Second World War. The Ministry of Food produced numerous pamphlets and leaflets related to food control and rationing. This particular pamphlet, published in 1946, provided an account of how food resources were mobilised during the war, including extensive statistical data and information that had been suppressed in the preceding five years.
