BACK WHEN SLICED BREAD WAS BANNED
The federal government under Roosevelt (above) decided
to limit the production of certain crops such as wheat to “stabilize” supplies and prices.
On this day in 1943 In a wartime rationing effort, the US
government banned the sale of sliced bread—in theory,
to conserve wax paper and the steel used in bread-
slicing machines.
After huge backlash, they rescind the order in less than
two months.
