DONUTS. Americans love them. Donuts win wars, make Brad and Tiffany’s teeth and hair shine, and give you more “Pep and Vigor” than a puppy on speed.” In the exhibition, What’s Cooking, Uncle Sam: The Government’s Effect on the American Diet, we learn:
“The Doughnut Corporation sought endorsement from the Nutrition Division of the War Food Administration for its Vitamin Doughnuts campaign.”
Donut were once good for you.
