The United Kingdom was an island of nations and it was small geographically. It was not able to grow all the types of foods and grain products because it was in a climate that could not sustain those crops. So when World War 2 started they had to continue to import food products and feed their service people. So they chose to ration food. Each person in the UK was issued a ration card. That ration card indicated what a person could buy and how much he or she could buy. The troops received "field rations". They were given their portions.
