Grumpy Grandma is put in her place during wartime food demonstration

This film collaboration between Ealing Studios and the Ministry of Food offers us a 'ringside seat' at a meeting of the 'Hillside Road Food Club', whose members are gathered around a table in a front parlour room. The leader of the group has some robust exchanges with a cantankerous 'Grandma' - well-known to audiences at the time as radio character 'Grandma Buggins' played by comedienne Mabel Constanduros (Ealing regulars Muriel George and Elliot Markham also appear).

We learn that there are four different kinds of food from which you can get all the vitamins you need to stay healthy. Individual demonstrators (including two children) show labelled items of food which fall into these four categories. The food classification seems rather muddled, but it's a good humoured attempt to educate the populace on how to stay healthy despite food rationing.
