In this poster, Its telling how during the war, the people had to give up some of the their food for the Soilders who were serving in Europe. For example, in this picture they are giving. Up bread, or wheat.
In this poster, we get the same view of food administration. It's persuading people to save their food for the soilders, in return they will be considered patriotic. Both of these posters focus on the Food administration, which was invented by Wilson to help produce and reserve food. As a result, American food shipments allied tripled, and Hoover set a high government price on wheat and other goods. These posters had to be very effected because of the the Espionage and Sedition Acts, which was a law that made it illegal to undermine government war effort. Which means that people can't speak up about what they believe in about the war, so they all have to obey the law. If today's world had propaganda posters, they would be different because we don't have a limit on what we can eat or buy at a grocery store. We don't have to save any food for anyone. The type of propaganda poster we would see today, would probably be about something we all use every day like technology.
