Food Facts No.51 Your bread is part of the war…

125 Your BREAD is part of the war... Bread is a great sailor. It uses more ships than any other item of food. In 1939 we baked 4,000,000 tons of bread. Think of the ships that needed—and we are baking even more bread now! We haven't rationed bread and you can still get a cheap loaf and as much of it as you need. We have introduced National Wheatmeal Bread which uses 10% more of the wheat grain and so saves shipping. Also it retains most of the wheat- germ containing the important vitamin B1. We ask you to be careful with bread — don't stint yourself or your family but don't on any account waste it.
