Buying Food (1950)

Buy this film on the Educational Archives Volume 8: Social Engineering 201 DVD

Made for home economics class, this is a primer on sensible food shopping. We learn to read canned food labels and get a glimpse at the mysterious grading system for various foods (and may understand why food grades are no longer advertised unless they are ‘Grade A’). Many of this film’s messages are still poignant today, especially since supermarkets are designed to encourage “impulse buying.”
