Rationing happpend in Britain
In the United Kingdom, various goods were rationed until 1958, including food items such as sugar, butter, and meat. Rationing began during World War II and continued post-war due to shortages and economic challenges. Sugar was one of the last items to be de-rationed, with its rationing ending in 1953, while other goods were gradually phased out in the following years. The experience of rationing had a lasting impact on British society and attitudes towards food and consumption.
