  • . . . read out in rhymes, brilliant !! War time rationing resulted in healthy life enjoyed by most Britons right up to the 60s and 70s. We suffer from Obesity today because of poor diet, no, not lack of it, but poor choice of what to eat. From the 80s onwards we were inundated with TV cooking progs, all cook with oil, butter and margarine - a recipe for disaster and obesity we're suffering today, So, be smart, ignore J Oliver, G Ramsey, and others and eat healthily !!

  • He is like a cross between Alistair Darling and Boris Karloff.

  • It is alrioght

  • Comment removed

  • Remember HOARDING food is illegal and you might go to jail if you hoard

    food. You must share your food with everyone, especially government officials

    who are sitting on their butts doing nothing.

  • They will ration "healthy foods" only. It will force veganism on all. Artifical scarcity will lead to inflated prices. Crisis will be created to give government complete control over our food supply. The "obesity epidemic" will be manufactured to produce the result of a dictator starving us or rationing food.

  • @ToxicOdiousOne It's not manufactured, they really are that fat.

  • "Good evening, Greyson..."

  • thank you that was very useful

  • No lol Bacon ham butter, was rationed in autumn 1939

  • Whenever I watch this exercise in recycling, in makes me realize what a total mockery our local councils are making of the recycling in our area. In wartime, that could be recycled, was recycled. Not now. Even grass clippings have to be in a special council (charged for) little paper bag on top or our council tax. Its crazy.. If during wartime people were charged on top of their rates there soon would have been questions asked as to where it was all going!

  • Rationing began end Jan 1940, not 1939

  • Excellent video - using in class to help teach rationing and the Home Front.  Cracking period poetry too!

  • Bones?  That's new to me, what were bones used for during the war?

  • They contained nitroglycerine, and were used for making explosives :D Good, eh? I think it's amazing what they achieved.

  • Winning the war through the use of simple, everyday household items - amazing is the word for it. Thanks for the history lesson, and btw, Eve is darling, congratulations.

  • Err that not bones that cooking oil...

  • Bones are use to make glue for assembling airplanes...

    I wonder how many bones are really used to just glue in 1 Spitfire...

    IMO all this recycling and rationing and war bonds.. was just a way to give the citizen a chance to pitch in.. and hopefully reduce war weariness..

  • @redeye117 that's probably why they would send horses to the glue factory.
