Food for our army and navy. Food for the invasion front. Food for ourselves on the home front. Food to help our fighting alliance and the people of the Allied country. It takes pounds of food a day to keep a soldier on the fighting front. Millions of pounds of food each day. The best way to supply our men overseas and are fighting alliance with most of the foods they need is in dried form and in cans. In addition to the military, other factors affect our canned food supply. Take tin for example. Our major peacetime sources have been cut off by the enemy. Our railroads and other transportation facilities are being taxed to their utmost carrying munitions, armaments, war supplies, and troops. That leaves less shipping space for civilian food stuff. And then there's the farm labor shortage. All this means that we at home will have less canned fruits, vegetables, soups, and other processed foods for our use.
