Notes:
In 1917, the Food Administration began taking measures designed to conserve food for the war effort. Americans were asked to reduce their consumption of wheat, meat, sugar and fats in particular. Since wheat was needed for the Allies, white flour was rationed. Americans learned new recipes to bake bread, using substitute grains, and many families saved their "pure white bread" for once a week meals. Still others observed "Wheatless Wednesdays."
