Rations were necessary world wide during World War II because the prolonged wars and vast amount of troops required much of the food production to survive.
Food was not much of a problem in the US. Gasoline was rationed to reduce domestic consumption and make sure that the war machine had what it needed.
Part of the reason was to make the public focus on the war effort. Some products as laundry detergent were not rationed even though they were in short supply.
