National Archives Releases Recipes From JFK, LBJ and Queen Elizabeth II


National Archives Releases Recipes From JFK, LBJ and Queen Elizabeth II

Ever taste a British monarch's scones, a Kennedy's 

chowder or President Lyndon B. Johnson's Texas
chili? Well, now you can. Today the National Archives
on the history of American food and the government's
effect on the nation's diet. The exhibit includes more
than 100 original documents and images, as well as
government videos, from antiquated food guidelines
to a scones recipe Queen Elizabeth II sent to President
Dwight D. Eisenhower. "The concern was malnutrition
and getting enough calories," exhibit curator Alice
Kamps said. "The very earliest guides didn't

nutritious diet wasn't known." Kamps believes this
exhibit will add to the conversation as the country
wrestles with problems of obesity and unhealthy.
