Absolutely ! Without rationing - those people who were financially better off would have been able to 'stockpile' thousands of pounds of groceries - leading to severe shortages for the rest of the population. Rationing the amount a person could buy of certain foods, made sure everyone got their fair share in times of hardship.
=The rationing in World War 1 was not very good. The government thought that rationing would be unpopular. The food situation was bleak in 1917. Voluntary rationing was introduced, food grew in gradens, meat - free days, flour was substitues in bread. By 1918 Meat, Butter, Sugar and Margarine was all rationed. Turned out to be popular with people. Rations were genours and people thought it was fair, Those who broke rationing regulations faced a fine or even prison. This Stopped All of the Rich People buying up all of the food and not leaving rnoug for the rest of the Public.=
In Britain rationing lasted 14 years. From 1940 to 1954. In Western Germany rationing lasted 15 years.
