radio program called "Our Nation’s Rations." The program helped 
homemakers make the most of their rationed food, and almost seven 
million copies of Betty Crocker's wartime booklet, "Your Share," were 
distributed. Betty’s wartime efforts didn’t stop there and were 
recognized by the American Red Cross for outstanding service in the 
national interest."</div><div><br /></div><div>From: https://rosietheriveter.net/betty-crocker-wwiis-home-front-helper/<br /></div><div>"During WWII, with rationing and shortages at hand, Betty Crocker’s Home 
Service Department stepped up to provide advice through radio, printed 
columns in newspapers and women’s magazines, and recipe booklets. She 
urging homemakers “Let’s Make Rationing Work!” and explaining how 
rationing will help win the war. With nearly half of women now working 
outside the home, Betty Crocker and General Mills distributed almost 7 
million copies of their booklet entitled, Your Share: How to Prepare 
Appetizing Healthful Meals with Foods Available Today. It contained 
recipes, tips on wartime buying, meal planning, and more."<span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:large;"></span></div>
