in 1943 the usda estimates that four billion cans of food were created in the united states. canning amounts during the war about the same time that victory garden production demonstrating successful link between the two practices. while canning has been a way of life, many had to learn arts of canning as part of the war effort. the government and companies helped american women learn how to can by not wasting fresh produce and making sure to always have enough. the usda will create almost 6,000 community canning centers throughout the united states to help women learn how to can as well as to share in the tools, the kitchen tools that they may not otherwise have. pam plphlets were created to instruct women and children help the war effort by helping to garden and can foods which for many turned into a lifelong practice. i'll show you a quick video from je jeanne johnson. she was six to ten and she still cans. she sat down with me and told about ha fowhat food was like fr during the war. >> they were chickens. food that my grandfather canned. we had a basement in our house. i

the first real cheese powder would be developed in 1943 by forge sanders. a usda scientist. it was a cheap, easily transportable option to flavor foods and make them cheesy. this is where if you have students who are really sciency, you can kinda get into the process of how they did this. according to the article in wired magazine, it was considered impossible to dehydrate natural, fat-containing cheese. because when you heated the cheese, the fat would melt out and separate. caesar's innovation was to do this in two steps. in the first, the cheese would be shredded or grated. and then dried at a very, very low temperature, which would harden the surface proteins, forming kind of a barrier around the fat. once the water had evaporated or enough water had evaporated, then the cheese would be ground up and dehydrated at a higher temperature and turned into the powder. it would then be formed into cakes. and those cakes could then be shipped easily around the world to our military bases. after the war, surpluses were sold off at low prices to grocery manufacturers. such as quake

i would say on the side of like climate policy and things the government can do, and back to the usdaly a lot that ranchers could be made to do that would make the meat we already eat like much better for the climate. so, for instance, if they closed all the open manure pits. that would save us a lot of methane emissions. but that's hard and like ranchers don't want to do and the government needs to make them. and so not only like are there great benefits to us switching our diets, but actually, there's a real opening for policy here to make like the diet that we're eating right now much better for the climate, too. >> all right. robinson meyer, thanks a lot for joining us. that is "all in" for this evening.

in 1943, the usda estimates that 4 billion cans of food were created in the u.s. was about the same time reduction peak, demonstrating the successful length between. canning has been a way of life for many americans prior to this, many had to learn the art as part of the war effort. the government's cookbook offers and companies helped american women learn how to can by not wasting fresh produce and making sure to have enough. the usda would create almost 6000 community centers throughout the u.s., to help women learn how to can as well as to share in the kitchen tools they may not otherwise have. pamphlets were created to instruct women in the process. even children were able to help the effort by helping to garden and canned foods. for many that turned into a lifelong practice for some. i will show you a quick video from janine johnson. she still cans and she sat down with me and told about what food was like for her during the war. >> we had neighbors who had chickens they would trade ask for food. we had a basement in the house that had a huge pantry or seller

the union representing the workers at usda today announced that they have won a few concessions from cy for employees who have decided to accept this forced transfer. but at this point, the move would seem to be a done deal. except for the fact that there are two important data points worth keeping an eye on here. the first is that on monday, the usda inspector general released a report concluding that the agency didn't actually have this authority to pay for relocating the science departments without budgetary approval from congress, which they absolutely do not have and will not get. people like virginia congresswoman jennifer wexton have been waving the flag on this point, calling into question the legality of the move. but then there's also this from the white house chief of staff, mick mulvaney. >> you've heard about drain the swamp. what you probably haven't heard is what we're actually doing. i don't know if you saw the news the other day, but the usda just tried to move or did move two offices out of washington, d.c., i think to kansas city, missouri. yes, you can applaud that
