When was rationing introduced in World War 2?

Answer 1

Rationing was introduced because there was not enough food getting imported to England, and most of our food was imported from Another Country, so we had to ration our food to make sure EVERYONE had the same amount. Rationing began before the blitz in 1942. Rationing was introduced by the Government, and everyone had to stick to it, including the Royal Family. For vegetarians there were extra cheese etc, but only because they refused to eat meat. In the end they still had the same amount of food, possibly less. There was something called the Black Market around back then, where food sellers took ordinary people's rations and sold them for a larger expense to others who bought more. This meant less food for everyone else, and was certainly illegal. Rationing continued until food was back to it's normal input, a fair while after the war ended. Do you get it now? Oh yes, and did I mention I was only 11? I'm learning about WW2 at school.
