Seems pretty extreme, to say the least.Don’t Toss Unpopped Pop Corn Kernels, Grind Them
Wartime economy?
Maybe, I suppose, but the government was urging people to switch to corn to save on other grains.

Thanks for the link. I always enjoy the posters that you post.It's hard to imagine how bad the food shortages were during WWII. I think that I read somewhere that the cost of food went up by more than 25% during 1917.
Food prices did rise dramatically, along with the price of coal and the price of shipping anything. The government ended up taking over the railroads, which addressed that crisis, but left food alone, instead taking the approach of simply urging people to conserve. At least one state, however, Montana, actually imposed state rationing.
