During WW2 this was the weekly rations allowed for an adult in the UK.
 

That's for a week? D:

Better Days
way back in 1939-1945

You can see why things like tripe became staple foods back then.

Growing your own veg was very important

Yeah defo. At least you could make vegetable stew/soup if you had that under your belt.

My Dad remembers seeing his first ever banana when he was 8 at a birthday party

No wonder people were so fit and healthy

Now people are so lazy about their diet they would rather inject themselves than go without :umm2:

We were walking through our local town centre this morning and in a 100 yards stretch We didn’t see one person/child who wasn’t overweight - some quite dangerously

and the governments answer is to roll out weight loss jabs, not maybe have a look at the amount they are eating and take a bit of exercise :facepalm:

My Nan years ago said that when she was a child, she had to share an Apple with her siblings.

You're joking right?

2024 has it's problems, but it's not that bad.:joker:

I don't mean to downplay society's current issues though, as we have certainly got some huge ones in all sorts of different topics.

Weirdly fish and chips were never rationed.

Really ?

Indeed, the government at that time believed that keeping fish and chips available was key to maintaining morale during a time of war!

Fascinating
