Nourish Well: Food’s Power 1929

This 1929 silent hygiene film, Food, underscores the vital role of good nutrition in health. Aimed at students or families, it contrasts hearty meals—fresh vegetables, milk, whole grains—with junk food’s pitfalls, using close-ups of bustling markets and kitchen prep. Intertitles tout vitamins’ discovery—like A for eyesight, D for bones—reflecting 1920s science. Kids thrive on balanced diets while others wilt, driving home sanitation and nutrition’s link. Likely a classroom staple, it champions clean eating in an era of dietary awakening.
