Beans are Bullets

Starting today, the USDA headquarters in DC will be displaying an impressive exhibit of War-Era food posters from the collection of the National Agricultural Library. The exhibit spans the World Wars and touches on the emotional, practical, and patriotic sensibilities of consumers and producers.

A lushly illustrated electronic version of the exhibit can be found here. The physical show ends November 10.

  1. Thanks for reminding us how supportive the American people were to the troops during WW II. Unfortunately, we didn't see that kind of support during Vietnam and are repeating the recent trend with Afghanistan. So the question is - how do we find a renewed love for our Country with all of the problems we face today, beginning with our leadership just down the street in our Nation's Capitol? Hopefully your viewers can chime in with their ideas.
