The bulletin discusses the success of government funded midday lunch and then a need of more support for government funded lunches post WWII. “A member of the Hoover Food Commission visiting Japan in the Spring of 1946 indicated interest in the redevelopment of the school lunch program and gave valuable suggestions as to how the program might be re-instituted.\u201d \u00a0As a result, Japan began providing a more nutritious midday lunch to their students. They had been providing a mainly rice based diet but found the children were lacking nutrients. The Japanese government began to provide skim milk, stew, and vegetables. As a result of the increase in protein and calcium, an increase in weight was seen across the board.<\/p>\n<p>The Hoover Food Commission enacted in Japan was one of many Hoover established around the world. Herbert Hoover was known for his work tackling food disparities before during and after his presidency. Under President Wilson, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoover.org\/research\/food-weapon\">Hoover served as the U.S. food administrator<\/a>, and boosted food production and promoted food conservation. \u00a0His food commissions promoted and regulated school lunches throughout the United States and the world.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"840\" data-carousel-extra='{"blog_id":1,"permalink":"https:\\\/\\\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\\\/2024\\\/08\\\/29\\\/fueling-the-return-to-school\\\/","likes_blog_id":"52242398"}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 840px; height: 377px;\" data-original-width=\"840\" data-original-height=\"377\" > <div class=\"gallery-group images-1\" style=\"width: 280px; height: 377px;\" data-original-width=\"280\" data-original-height=\"377\" > <div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-large\" itemprop=\"associatedMedia\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/2024\/08\/29\/fueling-the-return-to-school\/101709949_pg1\/\" border=\"0\" itemprop=\"url\"> <meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"276\"> <meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"373\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" data-attachment-id=\"29869\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/101709949_pg1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"888,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}\" data-image-title=\"101709949_pg1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/101709949_pg1.jpg?fit=222%2C300&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/101709949_pg1.jpg?fit=758%2C1024&ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/101709949_pg1.jpg?w=276&h=373&ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/101709949_pg1.jpg?w=888&ssl=1 888w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/101709949_pg1.jpg?resize=222%2C300&ssl=1 222w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/101709949_pg1.jpg?resize=758%2C1024&ssl=1 758w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/101709949_pg1.jpg?resize=768%2C1038&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/101709949_pg1.jpg?resize=840%2C1135&ssl=1 840w\" width=\"276\" height=\"373\" loading=\"lazy\" data-original-width=\"276\" data-original-height=\"373\" itemprop=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/image\" title=\"101709949_pg1\" alt=\"Text published in Tokyo by the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers.
