- Canada’s National Film Board presents “When Do We Eat,” part of the “Knife and Fork Series” created during World War II. This black-and-white film, made circa 1943, addresses the importance nutrition and its role toward a protective work day. “Old men, back to work after years of Depression,” it is said at mark 02:10. “Women quickly adjusting themselves to factory noise and heat. Boys, just out of school, taking on overnight the long hours of overnight. But the strain has been taking its toll of the nation’s health.” From a montage of factory scenes, the film takes the viewer to soldiers in the field at mark 02:47, and the realization that if soldiers need a balanced diet to remain productive, so too do the workers. “With new food limitations arising out of the war, the question of proper feeding demanded serious attention.”
At mark 03:30, the narrator explains that employers were being asked to review eating areas for employees, and asking the employees themselves to take note of what they are eating. “To throw over some of their old eating habits and see new value in wholesome food,” the audience is told, as the camera pans to a chart identifying such healthy foods as milk, meat, fruit, and vegetables. Specific dietary recommendations are provided starting at mark 04:00, as the film shows men and women enjoying such nutritious servings. The audience is also reminded of the importance of breakfast, with the viewer encouraged to consume one-third of their daily dietary intake every morning.
“Each day of long hours and strain is taking its toll of your health. Meanwhile, I wager the man at the local cafe would make something better than a snack for you, if you’d ask him, and if you got up 10 minutes early and had time to eat it,” the viewer is encouraged at mark 06:44. Workers are also encouraged to make breakfast the night before and then heat it up in the morning, or asking their wife to give them “a whipped up egg and milk, or some thin gruel. Something that would be kind to your stomach and protect you against the strain of working without food.”
“Going out, fortified with a good breakfast, is the first step in keeping with the health rules of the day…,” says the narrator near mark 08:00. “Food to start the day right and maintain skill and efficiency.”
Although some places of employment offer a cafeteria for lunch, the viewer is told, the majority of workers rely on a lunchbox and a meal prepared at home. “The lunchbox should contain one-third of the day’s food. A poor lunchbox will have mainly starch food. A good one will have something from three different food groups,” the viewer is told at mark 10:04, and include items such as meat, fish, cheese, eggs, milk, soup, pudding, fruits, and vegetables.
“Workers who take steps to guard their health by wise choice of food will be repaid in health, happiness, and increased earnings,” the narrator says at mark 11:13, as scenes of happy, healthy employees enjoying meals together fill the screen.
“Choosing good food when it is there before him. By so doing, the worker assumes his part of the responsibility. So he’s a good steady fellow. Still got money is pocket for a good time on Friday. Good husband material, eh girls?” the narrator asks as the film nears its end.

These films are current and educational. I love all the levels that teach us how to face challenges and correct our shortcomings. Really the movies are a hidden treasure. Thanks for the post
The idea of a man cooking his own breakfast was unthinkable :)
Considering when my mom got a job and my dad tried to cook anything except on the grill we had a grease fire? If you are not used to cooking for yourself doing so outside of easy things like the microwave or boiling water can end badly the first few times
No... not really.
Poor Bill there couldn't even manage a piece of unburnt toast 😂
My father could cook. Made breakfast every Sunday. I still remember him slicing the bacon.
We need these films and books to remind the current and future generations what total commitment to a cause is…… I remember watching the World at War series in the early 70’s… most now have never heard of it… there was no warning label back then…
We need this remade for today.
You know what messed us up? Not just Big Tobacco, that the other comment referred to. It was the old "better living through chemistry". So they eat artificially prepared foods. Sad to say even the President eats fast food, but some people seem to do alright on anything.
They're "surviving", not "thriving" on just anything. You can live off of practically just potatoes if you had to. And cancer takes years to develop normally when eating processed foods or other bad habits.
Eating only or mainly artificially prepared foods- fast food, TV dinners, canned food only, can be detrimental to you and your family's health, especially children.
Check the back of the packaging. If it has more than six ingredients and stuff you can not even pronounce, it's laden with chemicals or additives. In meals designed to keep for emergencies or to keep fighting troops fed is one thing, when out in the field. Not to be eaten for the entirety of your life though.
That menu in French at 13:11 sounds tasty today! Great video. Thank God for all we can eat today!
June 2022. I think we need have a re-make of this film for today and our coming challenges. On the monthly meeting of our village in Nebraska is the topic of permitting the keeping of chickens in residential yards - because of the coming recession. All of us who have been preparing, gardening and canning are no longer the crazy ones.
Did you get the permits?
Nah, you're still the crazy ones.
@@mrsilence666 as someone who lives in a old farm (out of service now but we still raise chickens for ourselves) it can really help the budget and your diet if you have fresh eggs and meat on demand.
"You eat, when we say you eat!"
You don't unda stand....theres been a mistake...I ain't supposed to be heeer
@@TheDieselbutterfly that was actually a different scene but im glad somebody got the reference 🤣
"Put you trust in God. Your ass belongs to me".
Look at all those men carrying lunchboxes! Not like most men I see today wasting hard earned money on takeout & cafe lunches, then complaining they have to work more years because they haven’t saved enough money.
And look at all those men with stay at home wives. Unless these are young men fresh out of school, the majority of them have wives. Makes life a lot easier if she is doing her part and him for her and the rest of the family. The other single men are usually wippersnappers, too young to care about the future. Although that one eating the carrot was portrayed as being smart.
In saying that though, I still agree with you. I too eat out some times. I just started to really hunker down and prepare everything the night before, if I am not walk-through-the-door-drop-dead-tired that is. Some of us have to work two jobs. I've tried meal prepping, but that doesn't seem to work for me. I waste more food than eat it would seem.
Just last night I thought about buying a golden oldie lunch box with thermos, something that would last. Or a kids lunch box with a wacky design on it. Don't judge me! =P
@@tilasole3252 no judgement here when you work long hours. I think my comment was also relating to convenience food being addictive. The dual income family requirement is so destructive to society IMO. I am blessed to be a SAHM under 40 still. We aren’t rich and don’t have a big home but we get by, with the understanding my role brings to easing the stress for the rest of the family. Because I support my husband and child through home, nutritional, budget, errands and effectively looking after their social and sporting schedules etc he has been able to put in extra hours at work and get more raises to cover the cost of living. It is through working as a team and having someone to focus on nurturing that this can be achieved more easily. If we don’t have health (physical and mental) we don’t have much to look forward to.
I agree thermos meals are superior to make ahead options in some cases. When my husband was in his old office he was one of the only ones to take a packed lunch and his co-workers would get jealous of his homemade lunches compared to the same old cafe takeouts they had. Having said that, some of it is very easy to prepare ahead. Snack tubs of yoghurt with muesli, containers with fruit like grapes, cut melon or berries, nuts, boiled eggs etc. These are very quick to grab. Even a microwave egg poacher with a couple slices of bread and some leftover dinner meat, or a salad roll can be filling if you have access to a canteen room.
@@ShadowNymph2010 Don't do that to me... Stay At Home Mom or Single Asian Hetero Male? I had to look up the former. =P
You are right. Convenience food is addicting.

Sugar: the Bitter Truth
When I eat fast food my body demands a soda to go with it. I could try for a healthier option like a flavoured water, but I am not satisfied with that and it still has sugar or an artificial sweetener anyway. Getting just a water from them feels silly, since I am still "paying" for a soda.
I can purposely not get one, trying to be health conscious. Drive back to my work's parking lot and start to eat the food I just bought and instantly crave a sugary drink the moment the food has entered my mouth. And I will either have to fight that strong urge and be frustrated the rest of the day that I am not getting what I want. Or in fact bend to it's ugly indomitable will and buy a canned soda from a "convenient" vending machine and then be disgusted for the rest of the day for feeling so weak and spending money on sugary poison... But I sometimes just need a sip or two. Then throw the rest away, along with the other 75¢ worth left over.
So I try to stay away from fast food now and sodas in general. I drink hot/warm jasmine green tea now. It has a slight natural sweetness to it on it's own. No added sugars of any kind. My cravings have lessened. Although smelling someone else's food also triggers my want of a soda or prepared food. So it is still currently a battle. I suppose it is like an ex-smoker or alcoholic or someone trying to quit, but smelling or seeing everyone else do it. The cravings last. And if you get off the boat and go back to it, very likely you will stay on it again.
"If we don't have health (physical and mental) we don't have much to look forward to". That's cuts deep..., straight to the soul actually. But what is there to look forward to being all alone? So what you have or I suppose your husband has, assuming I have the acronym right, is something I have wanted since I was a young child. I am past 40 now. Nothing seems to "stick". I've been independent since out of high school, having instantly joined the military. I'm out now, but lost both parents rather young, so no guidance. I know I've made mistakes, but damn it's hard to live alone. Not money wise, in my case at least. I make do. Just heart wise it's tremendously hard and quite painful, literally...
Ha! Muesli... I just called it lazy oat meal... I make that myself with natural fruit. First time I ever heard that term before. And it is easy to make. Although depending how tired or depressed I am, something so simple to make can turn into a great feat needing super human strength. Some times I will just spend the time cooking that and attending to it by stirring, as I cook my super. Then in the morning wake up, heat on the stove lowish-medium and then get ready for work in-between stirrings and eat before I leave.
Just started to eat carrots at work now including the green tops. Home-made roasted chickpeas. Fruit etc. Along with the hot tea. Sometimes I bring a meal and sometimes I do not. I try to sleep at work, as I do not sleep much at home, no matter how tired I may be. But I can not always sleep at work either, so I will go to a place and try to order something healthier than a greasy hamburger. I think I will just start bringing something easy like baked potatoes. No fuss, no muss. Microwave it or eat it cold. No extra sides. Maybe, but not usually, a pinch of salt.
Actually just started to bring a hard boiled egg to work as well, but try to limit it to every other day. I buy the more expensive ones where the chickens are "supposed" to be treated better... They are mire expensive compared to the general kind. Like six times as expensive. But I get peace of mind of the animal's welfare, although not my wallet and it is healthier due to it's feed and conditions... I'd pay more for prepared eggs at a diner anyway (eerie the video touched on eating at a diner...) and they probably use the cheapest eggs anyway so... Ehhh...
I wanted to start preparing toast as well for the last week or two, but I want the rye bread that IHOP no longer carries and I know it is not going to be cheap. Dollar Tree, now the Dollar Twenty-Five Tree still carries a decent selection of bread for $1.25... Whole wheat, among others. At the super market it'd be easily $2.50 or more. I was making my own bread at home. Even bought a slew of flour that will need to be used up eventually. But after watching other episodes from "this" playlist,

UK War Rationing (it is where I found this particular video from. If you liked this video you will most probably enjoy the others as well.)
among other videos I try to eat something more than just filling up on bread. And I love bread... Mmm... I'd prefer a freshly baked bread to a donut or a dozen actually.
Oh and I do not do Eggies or As Seen On TV gadgets any more... They have never been 100% truthful. But now they seem to straight out lie to you. But yes not hard to prepare the night before. If you have the strength and will power and common sense to do it. Or have a wonderful Stay At Home Mom or Single Asian Hetero Male to do it for you. =P
@@tilasole3252 it sounds like you have a strong spirit, have built character and are on the right track with dietary choices. There is no perfect diet, but trying the best we can helps. The convenience found factor doesn’t help people’s concentration & makes it easier to be apathetic toward life and sink into further depression. I’ve been there before with the guilt & self loathing cycles, once detoxed it is freeing but takes ongoing willpower to resist some old favourites.
I use the term muesli which is common here. I am Australian though 🙂 Love the term “lazy oatmeal” haha.
Yes, I can imagine it must be difficult to be alone but you have the benefit of working out what you want without compromise too. Praying for you that you find what it is you’re looking for 🙏🏼
My flatmate makes his lunch every day. I bring my own lunch to work most days. I get free tea and coffee at work so they cuts down on cost while I still get to enjoy a latte.
Why I never heard of such a thing as eating a CARROT! What a dork!
Thank God for these hard-working Canucks (my late father-in-law among them), helping their armed forces and the Brits hold off and then defeat the Germans. For that matter, thank God for Canada to this day, an example of decency and balance to the world.
@Mark Miller Exactly right Mark!!
Canada is a joke
@Mark Miller Don't forget the soviets, the most casualties in the wehrmacht suffered was on the eastern front, and the reds suffers 20million military casualties aswell
Those same people are rolling in their graves when you look at how Trudeau and western 'leaders' have destroyed the west.
Haha
When canada looked more British than American. Those were the days! Australia too! I heard some provinces then even drove left!!!!
No wonder Canadians, New Zealanders, Pakistanis (yes them believe it or not) and Australians want the British empire back!
@@iseegoodandbad6758 British propaganda machine at work...
thanks
any description would be great. ty.
Working 12-hour shifts 7 days a week. To think back then it was normal, that would be illegal now because of federal labor laws.
Great video but can you do one showing what was happening in the UK during the same time period. with all the rationing. I remember he day sweets came off the ration well after the war
Just watched a series on "wartime kitchen and garden" in the UK during the war. Showed how to make mayo out of a potato when you didn't have eggs. Great series - 8 parts. They also had another British series where a family from now volunteered to move into a house recreated to be a 1940s house during the war. They got to build an Andersen bunker in their yard, make blackouts for the windows, etc. Another great series.
Also try The Wartime Farm.
Interesting
Now i can understand what i seen in Charlie Chaplin films.
this is information they ALL knew. the problem was finding the food because of rationing.
Plenty of food to be had. Hence why certain things could be substituted for others. There were guidelines set up just for that. I also believe expectant mothers and children got the eggs and milk first for instance.
@@tilasole3252 Depends on where you lived, if it was in the UK during the second world war then you are completely wrong... unless you were part of the wealthy elite.
@@secondchance6603 that is not what the information says. Websites, old ads (could be propaganda), reports, testimonials, etc.
Or are you speaking of mostly the milk (cheese) and eggs not being rationed first to expectant mothers and little children more than there just being food for most in the UK?
@@tilasole3252"WHEN DO WE EAT WARTIME NUTRITION & WORKING CONDITIONS FILM 1944
Note the date, 1944 big giveaway. Also note that this video is about Canada NOT the UK.
Rationing ended in 1949 in the UK so I don't know where you got the idea there was "plenty to be had."
@@secondchance6603 Dozens of videos, some short, some long, most regarding the UK during WW2. It is where I found this video we are discussing now. Yes I am aware where this video is from. As well there is a video about the United States in the link as well.

Plus other random RUclipsrs and clips plus websites. So the UK did have plenty of food. The really tasty things were rationed, other things like onions were hard to come by and bread was purposely made to be partly stale when you bought it. Also rationing lasted well after the war ended.
I admit part of the "expectant mothers and children" getting dairy products first was part of the UK rationing system that I mentioned. But you brought up the UK in general not having enough food, unless wealthy, which is simply not true by any source I am familiar with.
Mind you, you still had to be able to afford the food, the rationing books was just to ensure there was enough to go around and you did not get more than you actually needed to survive and prices were not purposely raised beyond normal means. The people of UK were healthier during the rationing than before and dare I say even afterwards.
Am I having a stroke, or does the music in the last quarter of the film sound like Waltzing Matilda? Like at 11:40 and 13:11? I keep looking for Australians to appear.
I do believe I hear "Waltzing Matilda" at 11:50.
And those were Canadian workers, not Australian!
11:10 That poor lad would be fired and arrested for a comment like that today.
Did Canada ever start rationing ?
Yes. But I am not familiar with it.
No fast food, you'll notice.
Fast food back in those days WAS the diner and cafeterias. McDonalds had not been invented yet.
British had fish and chip shops, that could be considered fast food as well, but ehhh...
At 4:42 what kind of juice does she refer to? I can't hear what word she says, "imama juice?" That's what it sounds like to me. Driving me crazy that I don't know she's saying! Ha
Tomato to mato tamata take your pick😃😃
I was curious about that too.
Tomato. Ottawa Valley accent. Tahmahta.
Where are all the obese people? Oh, never mind, MacDonald's hadn't been invented yet!!
😂
The numbers running along the bottom of the screen spoil this I'm afraid, too distracting.
Sometimes I try to imagine in United States of America where people are happy and even eager to cooperate. But it's just not possible anymore. Our population is segregated in so many ways. social status caste income in quality inflation leaving paycheck to paycheck few economies of scale unemployment rents mortgages tuition. race and gender.
How much did they get paid? What was the hourly wage? I heard that the men were paid more per hour than the women for the exact same job.
Barbara Brantley almost all women stayed home and raised kids, while the man had to do back-breaking labor 12 hours a day and workplace deaths were common. Not to mention men drafted to be sent to die in wars. Life sure was much easier for women than men back in those days!
Barbara Brantley Most women stayed home and raised kids, while the men had to do back-breaking labor 12 hours a day in poor conditions and workplace deaths were common. Not to mention men drafted to be sent to die in wars! Life sure was much easier for women than men back in those days!
Julia D what did your post mean? Did I say women had it worse than men? No. I asked about equality. Reread my post. You’re mixed up. Women may have had somethings easier but not much. The women worked hard to raise large families. There were few modern conveniences then. Life was hard for men and women.
Barbara Brantley Don’t start on about equality reread what he said and then get down off your soap box, when a person is doing the same job but at a slower less efficient rate they deserve less money end of !!!
My mother was a social worker beginning in the late 50s and the few male social workers were paid substantially more than the women. My mother explained that they thought the men were supporting a family while the women were what? Just working for the fun of it? My mother was the main one supporting our family.

The narrator is so condescending.
Canadian film + "Waltzing Matilda" = cultural appropriation, eh?
At least food then was organic natural and made you tall, and feminine!!!!!!!
