I don't think that many people today would be prepared to go back to the wartime diet. Even veggies were a problem. One day you might get one or two pound of spuds and the next there wasn't any at all. I should have more detail of rationing somewhere. I will try and find it and pass it on. I think that I am right in saying, that today people would eat a weeks ration in one day. People were lean in those days. Kenneth Eamea.
