Ration Book Diet

Rationing was a vital part of fighting the Second World War on the home front. The Ministry of Food enlisted the cartoon characters Potato Pete and Doctor Carrot to promote the benefits of fresh fruit, vegetables and cereals and helped families to make the most of meat, fat, sugar and dairy products.
