Did Britain have rationing during World War 2?
Yes, and the last items didn't come off rationing until 1954 - 9 years after the war ended.
How did rationing change at the end of the war?
the reason is that Britain went through a massive devastation and needed time to recover that is why rationing was still going on after the war.
How did people get food during World War 2?
they grew there own vegetables which was a great help to substitute rationing. Substitute "their" for "there", and add: strict rationing was introduced in the UK, with all basic foods incuded in the scheme. There were occasional distributions of off-ration imported fruits, such as bananas, and of eggs, but it was found after the war that the rationing had been successful, not merely in keeping the population alive but in making it fitter than before the war. The Ministry of Food, as it was then, was largely responsible for this result.
When did rationing start in Britain during World War 2?
8 January 1940 Britain started to ration butter, sugar, eggs and bacon. Meat rationing started on 11 March that year and clothing was added to the list of things that were rationed later.
