Propaganda was used sometimes to persuade americans into joining or helping the U.S army.
These posters encouraged people at home to save food so that it would be sent to the soldiers. People in the U.S would eat or not eat specific foods on certain days so that the troops would be able to eat more. This would have been effective because it makes the people at home think that they would have a better chance to win if they save food. Because America is so "fat", if the poster was created today it would say "the soldiers could use a couple of your pounds."
These posters would try and persuade men to join the army. The more people that joined the stronger the army would be. This would be an effective poster because it makes men feel like they owe something to the U.S and that something would be joining the war. If the poster was made now it would say something like "We've been fighting for your safety now come fight fight for your loved ones."
