Everyday Foods in War Time
E-text prepared by Audrey Longhurst, Barbara Tozier, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"Everyday Foods in War Time" by Mary Swartz Rose is a practical guidebook written in the early 20th century, specifically during World War I. This work addresses the challenges faced by households in managing nutrition during wartime food shortages and rising prices. The author's objective is to educate readers on how to maintain a balanced diet with limited resources, emphasizing the importance of nutritional meals while being patriotic and economical. The opening of the book sets the tone for its themes by introducing the critical role of food during wartime, highlighting how common staples like milk can act as substitutes for more expensive options such as meat. Rose discusses the necessity of understanding food composition—focusing on proteins, vitamins, and calories—to create meals that are both nourishing and affordable. Through engaging metaphors, she encourages readers to view their diets as complex structures that need careful planning and balance amid the chaos of wartime rationing. The chapter includes practical advice on maximizing the use of available ingredients, emphasizing the importance of nutrition for both civilians and soldiers, and reflects a strong sense of duty and care for the community.
