the act of rationing

WHAT state?
Rationing restricted the amount of certain food products, gasoline, clothing and other things. Before the war there was no rationing, however, there was a depression. So many people said they ate better during the war since wages were up, jobs plentiful and food more available even with the restrictions. In England this was not the case because they had not recovered from the depression and the Germans repeatedly sunk supply ships. England had to stay on rationing for 10 years after the war.
