摘要本文着重论述了第二次世界大战期间食用和工业用油脂的重要意义，并特别关注了美国及其盟国的油脂供应情况。它认为，战争导致美国政府对油脂商品链的重要环节进行了大幅干预。此外，它审查了政府的政策，以合理使用，保存股票的供应，回收材料，并增加国内油料作物种植。它还涉及美国与盟国（特别是英国）协调全球商品链的努力。所有这些措施加在一起，在国家和全球油脂商品链中产生了深刻的短期和长期变化。
Abstract This article focuses on the vital significance of fats and oils for dietary and industrial purposes in World War II and pays special attention to the supply in the United States and among its Allies. It argues that the war led the US government to intervene drastically in important segments of the fats and oils commodity chain. Further, it examines government policies to rationalize usage, conserve the supply of stocks, recycle materials, and increase domestic oil crop cultivation. It also addresses US efforts to coordinate the global commodity chain with Allied powers, especially the UK. All these measures combined resulted in profound short- and long-term transformations in the national as well as global commodity chain of fats and oils.
