Pledge of the American Homemaker
I pledge the nation that my mission
Will be to practice good nutrition;
To plan those meals which every day
Yield energy for work and play;
Meals which supply the strength that wins,
With protein - minerals - and vitamins.
I pledge my service to the nation
To do my part in conservation.
The rules of cooking I'll observe.
Each bit of food I will conserve.
With all the problems to be faced,
I'll do my best to outlaw waste.
I want to do my bit and more,
To help America win the war.
- - H. Howard Biggar
Obviously this is historical in nature. I find it simply fascinating. And I'm feeling pretty bad right now for throwing a brownie away and letting three bananas turn the corner.

Higher gas prices, few home sales, and such
I pledge to eat when given the chance
Even if it means elastic waist pants
To save the troops and money with ease
One day each week I'll fix mac and cheese
And with each extra penny not spent on feed
I'll donate it to someone in need.
Also, disposing of food waste costs the US $1 billion a year.
Food...for thought and for change.
