Clean Plate Clubs were part of a campaign started by U.S. President Harry S. Truman that encouraged school children to pledge to eat everything on their plate at mealtimes, in order to conserve limited post-war resources. Although most Nutritionist s now discourage this practice, these clubs were founded in a large number of elementary schools, and were promoted on several children's television shows. Truman based the idea on Clean Plate campaigns started by president Woodrow Wilson in the aftermath of World War I . |
