Now when we are at war and mental and physical vigor are needed as never before, the problem of providing well-balanced meals is complicated by curtailment of certain foods as well as by increased food costs, food rationing, restricted deliveries and labor shortages. Even in London, where food rationing (with the important exception of bread) did not begin until February 1918, The Times reported long lines in front of East End food shops. Just after the war, the government tried to alleviate five years of harsh food rationing by decreeing that every child in England should be allowed one banana. |
