(HC)The image below is a propaganda poster produced by the U.S. Food Administration during World War I:

Poster showing the New York skyline. In the water in front of the skyline is a military ship on the left and a group of people standing on the shore on the right. The following message is written on the poster; "Food will win the war. You came here seeking freedom. You must now help to preserve it. Wheat is needed for the Allies. Waste nothing."

2. to promote conservation in support of the troops

The poster is promoting the view that "food will win the war". They also draw many of the people's lives or family history, in that they (or their ancestors) came to the US for freedom, and now that their freedom is under attack by the Central Power, they must fight to preserve it.


hope this helps
