that sliced bread was banned in the United States in 1943? The reason that the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture banned it was because sliced bread went stale faster which caused Americans to use more
wheat, wheat that was needed to feed the soldiers.
Bread slicing machines were also banned due to them needing metal
parts for repairs -- metal that was needed for manufacturing ships,
tanks, guns etc. for the war.
