Since Butter was not imported why was it rationed during World War 2 in the US?
ZaidaGiraldo
This was to keep inflation in check as well as make sure all citizens were able to get their fair share. Butter was also needed to help feed U.S. troops.

Why were nylons rationed in World War 2?
Nylon was used as a replacement for silk (which came from Japan and China) and was used in the war effort- parachutes, cannon powder bags, etc. Since it was in short supply, it was rationed to civilians.
What did people eat during WW2?
Less meat and fat and sugar.Some foods were rationed, but for the most part people ate pretty much the same thing they had before the war... meat and sugar, for example, were rationed, so people ate less of those, but in most places they were still available.One of the items not rationed in England was carrots, thus the English people ate many carrots during the war and still do.People living in an Axis occupied country, such as Poland or France had to survive on whatever they could find, or grow themselves, since the German forces would often seize whatever they could find to support their war effort.Although many foods were rationed in many countries during WW2, people continued to eat the same types of foods, but in differing amounts. The situation was different in different countries and locations. Most meats, sugar and some types of fat were very limited and in some places impossible to obtain. People made use of home gardens and other food sources they could manage at home such as backyard chickens or rabbits.American troops were treated to some genuine culinary treats: SPAM, beannie weenies, ham and lima beans, Ritz Crackers and peanut butter and Ike even included in his D-Day plans provisions for the early introduction of Coca Cola bottleing plants for the European Theatre.
How did rationing effect civillians in the war?
Rationing effected a good part of our lives. Many of the things rationed were in short supply, so we often had to learn how to improvise or do without. Nylons, since nylon was needed to make parachutes. That's when liquid stockings showed up. It wasn't a good idea to wear them out in the rain, because water would streak them. Coffee was rationed...and that's when Nescafe was introduced (try it sometime...lol...it's still available). Because meat was rationed and in short supply, along came the recipes for casserole dinners because they usually took less meat . There was "meatless Tuesday" (also meatless Fridays? I'm not sure about that). Shoes were rationed, so people had shoes repaired rather than tossing them out and buying new. I even had my saddle oxfords refinished and resoled. Since auto plants were turned into "defense plants," there were no civilian automobiles manufactured until after the war was over. It was a big event when that first new car showed up in our neighborhood after the war. It was a maroon 2-door coupe.

How much did margarine cost in 1940?
None! Margarine wasn't purchased by the government during World War 2, thanks mostly to lobbyists in the butter industry. So it wasn't subject to rationing, which made it cheaper and more abundant than butter. It backfired on the butter industry, because after WW2 almost everyone used the non-rationed margarine and butter has since been more expensive and less purchased. Good question.

Peanut butter isn't a pure fat. I has ground peanut meat as well as the fat that's in the peanuts. Butter is almost pure fat. When baking peanut butter is usually more of a flavoring but since it has so much fat in it, the butter or shortening in the recipe is reduced. You can trade peanut butter for fat since it's not all fat.
