BETTER FOOD FOR OUR FIGHTING MEN - Matthieu Nicol
BETTER FOOD FOR OUR FIGHTING MEN presents a selection of one hundred images dating from the late 1960s to the early 1990s from a U.S. Army research and development center. In this industrial complex, which is still in operation, military personnel and civilian contractors work to improve the comfort of the soldier in his daily life and his diet.
Feeding the troops is a major logistical, sanitary and psychological challenge for the world's largest army. Here the enemy is bacteria, and the nerve of the war is the supply chain. How to produce, transport, cook and serve food, under all latitudes and climates, and in all configurations? These images document the experiments carried out by the nutritionists and logisticians of the army's "food science lab". The visual set is completed by a glossary of 24 entries, describing by the menu various acronyms found in the captions of the images, evoking elements of the history of the American soldier's ration in the 20th century, and the various technologies developed by the food industry in the manufacture of this collective food.
