WWII Propaganda

• The overt message is to "eat less bread".
• The covert message is that every patriotic American should help out the war effort and help to ration bread. It implies that those who don't eat less bread are keeping their fellow Americans from victory.
• Propaganda involves an implicit message that isn't completely obvious at first glance. This poster does this by convincing the viewers that one who helps one's country and rations bread will be happier and healthy in doing so, when this is not the reality of the matter.
