Fact #1 (7/11/18)

In 1940 the US government created an initiative to get Americans to eat Organ Meat. It was known as the organ meat push of the 1940's. The initiative was so successful that during world war 2 organ meat consumption went up by 33% and by 1955 it was 50%

The reasoning for the governments pushes to eat organ meat was due to the meat shortages happening in the US at the time. In 1941 New York restaurants had resorted to using horse meat. Federal officials became worried that a lengthy war would leave the nation starved for protein. The president at the time, Herbert Hoover even wrote a government pamphlet addressed to the American people. The pamphlet was written in 1943 and it addressed that meat and fats were just as many munitions in the war as tanks and airplanes. 

It was also the only initiative by the government to successful create a lasting change in the American Diet. The "Five a day" campaign, the USD's Food pyramid, and the push for lower-fat cheese and milk and among a dozen others all failed in comparison to the meat push of 1940. 

The reasoning that the meat push was the only initiative that was truly effective was because it was the only one that specifically targeted American habits. There was even a committee created by the Department of Defense, consisting of multiple of the nations leading Sociologists, Psychologists and Anthropologists called the Committee on Food Habits. The successfulness of the meat push was solely due to this committee. And the fact that the committee was disbanded a few years after World War II, as well as the fact no other initiative followed the advice of the committee, might show why no other initiative was as effective.
