Some info on Public Information Leaflets at:
http://www.homefrontthirsk.org.uk/details.php?search_all=62
The link has a complete scan of the document.
The full name of the leaflet was “Public Information Leaflet No.4: Your Food in War-Time”
@Willson Many thanks for the link – we’ll link it from the blog post itself shortly!

As I try to imagine myself reading this pamphlet to my family at the dinner table, my entrails become a rock-hard knot and my organs cease functioning.
Yes, but we’re not made of the same stuff they were in those days.
