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.

How were foods rationed in world war 2?
In the US the rationing programed used rationing books and rationing stamps. When someone purchased something that had to be purchased with a rationing book the store clerk would either stamp a square or put another official thing on the book. Some foods were harder to get because the US needed to send those food items to Britain so the Brits would not starve and some of the foods were used to feed the armed forces and POWs. Some of the families got around the shortages by growing their own food, going to the farmers to buy food items and they made their own breads.
