During World War I, food scarcity and rationing became serious issues in the United States. The Abingdon War-Food Book aimed to address these problems by providing practical advice on how to reduce waste, grow food at home, and use food substitutes effectively. With contributions from prominent public figures such as Herbert Hoover and John Wesley, this book is a fascinating glimpse into the history of wartime food policies and their impact on everyday life.
