#wheatless

1. Bones and Meat furnish bodybuilding material. Serve baked beans to save meat.

2. Corn syrup is a perfectly wholesome food. It contains glucose which is a wholesome food! (In 1918- not in the 2020s)

3. Oatmeal is "richer" than wheat flour. It contains 7% fat, whereas wheat flour contains 1-3%

4. Graham crackers are made from wheat flour. Oatmeal crackers have a similar taste and save the wheat.

5. Rye approaches bread making qualities more nearly than any other grain.

6. Buckwheat is a different type of grain.

7. Nuts can be used in place of meat. They contain as much fat and body building material, and often more starchy material.

Suggestions for breakfast include cornmeal griddle cakes topped with corn syrup or puffed with bananas and milk. Lunch suggestion is a casserole of hominy, tomatoes and cheese. Also on the lunch menu is stewed prunes and for dinner, cold beef tongue, Belgian baked potatoes, cranberry jelly, mashed rutabaga and tapioca pudding are on the menu.

Even though my project is officially long over, I have found more interesting articles and items of interest. I hope you will check them out and report back if you find anything else of note.

On January 3, 1918, the Hope Valley Advertiser targets housewives to do their patriotic duty to sacrifice fat but not to eat less than necessary. If we are to win the war, we can not risk our Allies collapsing. Women and children in Belgium are starving!

By May of 1918, the food situation in Europe was dire. The U.S. was needed to send food to our allies overseas, resulting in new and more strict food rules at home. Beginning April 14, 1918, all bakers were required to use at least 25% wheat substitute in all bread and rolls (up from 20%). No American may use more than 1 1/2 pounds of wheat in any form per week. (EEK! I can't live without carbs!) This means not more than 1 3/4 pounds Victory Bread, containing the required percentage of substitutes and 1 1/2 pounds of cooking flour, macaroni, crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals all combined. (My very Italian household of 3 people= 1 pound of macaroni per meal + leftovers, more people, no leftovers.).

Public eating places and clubs must observe two wheatless days per week, Monday and Wednesday. They are not allowed to serve any patron at any one meal an aggregate of [the above] containing a total of more than 2 ounces of wheat flour. No wheat products shall be served unless specifically ordered. Public eating establishments are not to buy more than 6 pounds of wheat products for each 90 meals served.

Retailers are not sell more than 1/8th of a barrel of flour to any one customer at any one time and not more than 1/4 of a barrel to a country customer at any one time, and they are not allowed to sell wheat products without equal weight of other cereals.

Victory bread, containing oatmeal and cornmeal are emphasized in the meal planning menu suggestions.

I honestly don’t remember. I think it was along the lines of “I’m into different things so I think my followers here wont appreciate it as much” since I used to be a PMMM person and they expect that from me. This blog was made for nsfw stuff but then turned into idol stuff which then lead me to use this blog more.

I barely use tumblr now. I occasionally scroll through my dash and just post art. I’m more active on twitter than I am here.
