@DrClaytonForre1 I understand the rationing of raw materials and gasoline during the war because of production inputs. But I never understood the food rationing because there was no corresponding increase in population.

@DrClaytonForre1 It wasn’t worth it. Now everyone in England is fat and not British.

@DrClaytonForre1 The Brits maintained the rationing system for years after the War ended in the spirit of Crabpot Commie Envy. Coming soon to America.

@DrClaytonForre1 Wow, just imagine how much smaller those portions would be if the British government hadn't made everyone kill their dogs!

@DrClaytonForre1 But also unrestricted bread, and, for very little money, as much beer as you wanted.

@DrClaytonForre1 Not that wars are also meant to manipulate human consumption of various kinds of goods (including food and also to the extreme extent, as it's shown). (Literary) food for thought for whom has no idea how war truly works and what makes a people carry on or become demotivated.
