One of the things that rationing did was to make sure everyone had a fair share of much needed protein. Many people were in bad shape from a decade of living on a cheap, high sugar diet. A diet lacking in good protein sources like milk, cheese, eggs and meat. So even the little available made an amazing difference to health. And if you picked the box of dried eggs over the fresh, farther ahead as well. The sugar rationing cut down on this diabetic causing product in their diet. Another great thing for health. So while the rationing met less for the rich, who had eaten well during the depression, and therefore were healthy, it was a blessing for those who had been starving on high sugar foods.
Thank you for putting this video out I think it’s important that people of today know what it was like back then. Because it looks like that we may be revisiting it.
