Rationing didn't start until the end of WW1, whereas in WW2 it started almost immediately.
The amounts of food rationed were different.
In WW2 clothing was rationed.
In WW1 the poor civilians were happy with rationing as, paradoxically, they had access to more food and a better lifestyle. However the rich people were not so happy with it and attempted to get more food from the black market.
There was a thriving black market during both wars.

Well the U.S. rationed everything from oil, food, and rubber, to stockings, etc. Rationing provided our military and factories the materials they needed to produce the necessary weapons of war which ultimately lead to an allied victory. (40,000-50,000 American Sherman tanks alone were produced to the couple thousand German tanks thanks to our economy and industry).
