EDITORS COMMENTS
Little Americans Do Your Bit: A poignant reminder of the collective spirit and sacrifices made during World War I is encapsulated in this evocative poster from 1918, titled "Little Americans Do Your Bit." Published by the US Food Administration, the poster aims to instill a sense of duty and responsibility among children to contribute to the war effort by leaving nothing on their plates during mealtimes. The image features a young boy, earnestly looking into the camera, as he pours cornflakes into a bowl. The caption reads, "Leave nothing on your plate. Little Americans do their bit by conserving food." The poster also includes illustrations of various food items, such as wheat, cornmeal, and cereals, emphasizing the importance of consuming these staples to ensure their availability for the military and other essential industries. During World War I, food shortages were a significant concern in the United States, with the country's resources being diverted towards the war effort. The US Food Administration, established in 1917, implemented various measures to address the issue, including posters and advertisements encouraging Americans to reduce food waste and conserve supplies. This poster, in particular, targeted children, appealing to their sense of patriotism and encouraging them to set an example for their families by finishing their meals. The image of the young boy, with his serious expression and determined demeanor, underscores the importance of every individual's role in the war effort. The poster's message remains relevant even today, serving as a reminder of the power of collective action and the importance of being mindful of food waste.
