U. S. Food Administration / Food is Ammunition. 1917.
Sheridan was enlisted by the United States Food Administration to promote the idea that comestible conservation is just as mighty as combustible ammunition. “[Herbert] Hoover often wondered about his standing with America’s boys and girls, for he knew that his name was linked to every dreaded vegetable children were made to swallow” (Rawls, p. 118).
