I had noticed the patriotic tone of the WWII food brochures and pondered that a bit. It seems like there was genuine interest in providing nutritious recipes and nutrition information. Well, I just wonder about the motivation. Of course, they didn’t know how long the war would last. I wonder if the unspoken concern was for the health and strength of the young sons that were eating at their mother’s table, some of whom would soon be called upon to be soldiers. And if the war came to our shores, anyone might be fighting, especially the older men. Or was it just an avenue through which to appeal to people?

Great article. It’s the sugar. And, highly processed carbos are nearly sugar as they quickly convert to sugar in your system – overwhelming it. That extra sugar goes to storage [fat] which is not made of “fat” but stored sugars.
