EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, issued by the Ministry of Food in 1947, emphasizes the importance of proper nutrition for children under five years old. The image features a group of happy, healthy children, with the youngest baby in the forefront, all enjoying their daily doses of cod liver oil and orange juice. The caption reads, "It's not just the tiny baby, but the child right up to five years, who needs cod liver oil and orange juice every day." The reason for this recommendation was to ensure the healthy development of bones and teeth, laying the foundation for a strong constitution and helping children to resist common childhood illnesses and infections. The 1940s was a time when public awareness about the importance of nutrition was growing, and the government was actively promoting healthy eating habits through various campaigns and initiatives. The children in the photograph are seen holding their ration books, which were used to manage food distribution during wartime. The use of natural food sources like cod liver oil and orange juice, rich in essential vitamins and nutrients, was an effective way to promote good health during a time when access to fresh produce and other nutritious foods was limited. The image is a powerful reminder of the importance of proper nutrition in the early years of life, and how it sets the stage for a lifetime of good health and wellbeing. The smiling faces of the children in the photograph are a testament to the positive impact of a healthy lifestyle, even during challenging times.
