yes
The European countries involved in World War 1 introduced food rationing. Obviously, this involved issuing ration-books.
very poor. little food with no cheese and you had to make your own milk
Rationing during times of scarcity, such as World War II, affected both children and adults, but the impact on children was often more pronounced. Kids rely on adequate nutrition for growth and development, and rationing could lead to deficiencies that hindered their physical and cognitive development. Additionally, children had less agency in food choices and were more vulnerable to the stresses of scarcity, making them particularly susceptible to the adverse effects of rationing.
In a way you can say it was because the rationing books allowed a control over what people could buy or not which made the amount of food each person/household could buy fair; other than every single person fighting for food, and one person taking more than the other while the other starved.
During World War I, rationing was reduced simply because of the shortages of foodstuffs and other economic items caused by the war-effort. On both sides of the conflict, the naval and land (and even air) dimensions of the war caused normal importation and/or production of everyday items either to stop altogether or to be severely diminished, thereby causing shortages of one kind or another.
The Jews were not given rations in World War 2 in the Axis countries. They were rounded up and taken to the concentration camps. They got whatever measly food and liquid they were given. In the Ally countries they received the same rations as everyone else did.
food and gas....
To the best of my knowledge there was no food rationing during the 1930's depression, at least not in the United States. The only food rationing was during World War 2 in the 1940's.

In Germany and Austria there were severe food shortages in the final stages of World War 1, and many people died of starvation.
rationing was used during WWII, carpools, meatless and wheatless days to save food for the troops, and blackouts to save energy.
