Ration books were issued by the US government to allow everyone to have the same chance to get goods as everyone else. There is no exact number on how many ration books were issued but over 8000 ration offices were opened to control the rationing.

Where did world war 2 children get there there food from?
Where did the children of WW2 get their food?In the US they got food from their own victory gardens, farmers, ranches, orchards and grocery stores. They could buy food with their own ration books. Usually the mothers did the shopping and the child presented his or her ration books to the cashiers. They could also get food at cafeterias and restaurants in the cities or towns.In the UK the children got their food from the same types of places however when they were sent to rural places to be protected during the Blitz they were able to get food on farms where they lived or from the growers. They had their own ration books too. (there were some problems with that but that is another story)In New Zealand and Australia the kids went through the same thing the UK children did. They too had ration books and some had been evacuated too. But they were able to get food from the same places as in America.
