Read the passage from "The Power of Carrots."
Carrots were popular in England for another reason. The war was causing
food shortages in England. Citizens were encouraged to grow their own
food in "kitchen gardens" to supplement what they could buy with their
ration coupons, so a lot of people grew carrots. "This is a food war," said
Lord Woolton, Britain's Minister of Food during the war. "The battle on the
kitchen front cannot be won without help from the kitchen garden." The
kitchen garden was so successful that, by the end of the war, England had a
surplus of 100,000 tons of carrots.
