Hi, don't know if these would be helpful, but they all are related to the New Deal and food: Food of a Younger Land: A Portrait of American food from the lost WPA files by Kurlansky; What the Slaves Ate: Recollections of African American Foods and Foodways from the Slave Narratives, by Eisnach and Covey; School Lunch Politics: The Surprising History of America's Favorite Welfare Program by Levine; America Eats: On the Road with the WPA by Willard;
Good Luck, Susan Rubenstein DeMasi

Hi Michael--here are a few more possibilities. Some are a bit dated, but as you know, the history of nutrition is still getting off the ground!

Charles O. Jackson, Food and Drug Legislation in the New Deal (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1970).
