This fun film is very similar to 'Food For Fighting; in talking about wartime eating habits. I like this film a lot better actually, as it's scope is a lot wider and it's footage and narration sometimes goes on the ridiculous side. We learn how the Europeans had to learn to ration food properly (thanks to the Americans!). This is quite interesting as it provides a glimpse of the way Europe had to change during the war. The film does head back to America and tells of all the wonderous things you can do with food rations! For heavens sakes, eat more of the foods you wouldn't think of eating!…
