During WWII, you couldn't just walk into a shop and buy as much sugar or butter or meat as you wanted, nor could you fill up your car with gas whenever you liked. All these things were rationed, which meant you were only allowed to buy a small amount (even if you could afford more). The government introduced rationing because certain things were in short supply during the war, and rationing was the only way to make sure everyone got their fair share. This is one of War Bonds bride, Betty Driscoll Ratzman's ration books. Makes me stop and think as I had out to the grocery store today. So many things we take for granted/Cindy Hval, War Bonds Facebook.

Question: Could today's US citizen cope with rationing?
