World War 2 was, like a WORLD WAR? (ikr crazy). Lots of people had to go fight in the war,
and the government needed to give those people food, lots of food, this meant that like, there was a shortage of food.
Also fighting in a war, is pretty mentally draining, it lowkey sux. So mental health wasnt the best either.
Rationing
Because of this shortage of food, the government limited citizens access to their food in order to make sure there was
enough for the military and people. People were restricted to certain amounts of different kinds of foods, having to redeem stamps for
them at stores.
Impact
This informed many of the other things to come in this timeline.
This encompasses a lot of the timeline to follow, so keep it in mind as a background for lots of the rest of the timeline :3
