Excerpt from The Food Problem
Today the war has entered a phase in which food dominates the economics, strategy and statesmanship, not only of the countries at war but of neutrals as well. The Allies are blockading Germany, and its population is living in an era of food control hitherto undreamed of. The adjacent neutrals are under many restraints and pressures to yield their food to either side and are striving with every resource to protect their vital supplies. The Germans are trying to starve the Allies by sinking their supplies at sea. All are desperately trying to maintain production and reduce consumption. In consequence food problems in balancing vegetable and animal production, in imports, exports, and price controls, in protein, fat and carbohydrate content, are all silhouetted against a background of destruction and tragedy.
The American people as a nation and as individuals are face to face with a great special problem in connection with the whole war problem the solution of which they have undertaken in common with their Allies.
