Document source description

This White House lunch and dinner menu is a result of the first televised presidential address on October 5, 1947, where President Truman talked about the world food crisis. He asked citizens to conserve food so that more grain could be sent to starving people in Europe. People were asked to not eat meat on Tuesdays, and not eat poultry or eggs on Thursdays. This Thursday menu does not include poultry or eggs.
