Notes:
Even before the U.S. entered the war, it was a major supplier of foodstuffs to the Allies and neutral nations. In 1917, 90 percent of the wheat in Britain's daily bread was American. In April 1917, Herbert Hoover was appointed head of the new United States Food Administration and often repeated "Food will win the war" in his efforts to get Americans to show their patriotism on the home front by consuming less food.
