Subject: Historically Interesting
A 1943 documentary about feeding nutritious food to the armed forces. Dehydrated & process food was developed during that time. A very informative production of its time.

An exploration about what soldiers should eat is shown here. Soldiers need a well balanced diet, and that means never ending testing of conditioning, energy level checking and food taste tests ("How much soy is in this?"). Somewhat interesting when they were comparing what the enemy was eating (I liked the mention of "superpills", but aside from that, nothing really much else to reccomend.
