The period of wartime food rationing is now seen as a time when the nation was at its healthiest and these Ministry of Food leaflets advised the general public on how to cope with shortages. This is a nostalgic look back at one of the hardest and yet perhaps healthiest times in history, but is also a relevant guide on healthy eating for today.

Using documentary evidence in the form of numerous advertisements of the time, From Submarines to Suburbs is a fascinating analysis of the way corporations made the successful switch from supporting the war effort to building on the peacetime prosperity by re-tooling the patriotic fervor of the home front.
