MEAT.
(click ads for closer look)
This is how Meat was sold in post-WWII America. Milk? Eggs? Bread? Phooey. If you wanted to build the kind of "trained, firm" boy body that could hoe all god damn day, you ate cow and pig and SPAM. Every day. If you're a true American, you'll honor the birth of your country and eat grilled meats this weekend. "You're right in liking it." Stuff that in your fake lettuce bikini, Pam Anderson.

I imagine the conversation surrounding the art direction for the second ad went something like this..
"Gee, Bob, something is just...off. I don't feel creepy enough when I look at this ad. Make him look a little more like he's 12. Yes, that goes great with the copy about meat, firm muscles and hoes. Thanks, I feel a great deal more like my pedophile self now."
A world before tofu. Moving really.
That second one could have come from any 1930s totaliarian regime. Strong, blonde kid working the field. For the Fatherland and the Party.
you can check out other vintage advertising here.... it's a great site: http://www.plan59.com
on my first read i thought you wrote "honor the girth of your country." which is true.
if you love america, you'll pack that undigested meat into your colon.
Who can resist looking at a fly boy & his ho'?
I bet most kids today do not know what a hoe does in the farming sense.
seriously--where can i find this ad? this belongs in my kitchen something fierce...
