Things that were rationed in the war;
-Meat -Shoes -Sugar -Cofee -Gasoline Rationing was neccessary during WWII because of the War Production Board (WPA) allocated raw materials to key industries. this meant that only certain people was able to have certain things and others werent able to have those things. The food items were rationed because they were put away for the soldiers who were fighting in the war.
