Yank Masthead (The unofficial) Yank Archives  

From volume 1, issue #34, dated Feb 6th, 1943

People at Newark, N.J., are no longer just saying, "I'm so hungry that I could eat a horse." They're doing just that; many of them are. The city authorized meat markets to sell horse flesh for human consumption, and already more than two tons of the stuff has been sold.

Yank Archive curator's comments:

About newsbites: Each issue of Yank had dozens of short reports on events from the home­front as well as the battle­front. They provide a fas­cinat­ing glimpse into life during the war.
