The overwhelming majority realize that the food we send abroad is for essential military purposes, for our own and Allied fighting forces, and for necessary help in areas that we occupy. How does the phrase "appetite above patriotism” help Roosevelt achieve his purpose? It encourages sympathy by stating that most troops are starving. It angers the public into action by implying that most people are selfish. It educates the public by explaining that food is being sent abroad. It inspires sacrifice by suggesting that making a sacrifice is an act of patriotism.
