Synopsis

The crisis of food production soared in the United States during the first World War, and this book intends to tackle the issue head-on. The author signals the looming threat of famine in the country, despite its inherent capability of feeding both its own people and citizens overseas. The book scrutinizes inefficiencies in crop production and distribution, arguing that none of the challenges in securing a sufficient food supply are insurmountable. The author finds the solution to the impending crisis in implementing tactics already utilized by countries like France and Germany, urging that America follow suit. The author dissects the folly of over-refining grains, a wasteful process which strips food of its most wholesome elements. They propose a complete overhaul of milling techniques to retain the grain's full nutritional value. Moreover, the book calls for an end to the senseless discarding of by-products like skim milk, arguing that these are invaluable food sources currently discarded in favor of less nutritious products. The author asserts that, by embracing these changes, the United States will not only avert famine, but they will also significantly lower food costs, as the new system would reduce overall production expenses. In a time of uncertainty and fear, this book provides a much-needed beacon of hope, presenting a clear roadmap to resolving a critical challenge of the era.
