Shouldn't there be a separate page for military rations, which aren't really the same as rationing? Somebody who knows about this should definitely take it on. Tfine80 20:17, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Agree, except this is a rationing page, not a rations page, so, N really on point...unless you got disambiguated here, in which case, somebody needs a dictionary.
On rationing trivia, I've heard Canada's rationing lasted into the '50s, too (I've heard 1953 cited). And the U.S. "A" ration card of 1942 provided 11 liters of gas. (Somewhere, I heard a typical 10000 ton WW2 tanker would provide enough to run on an A card for something like 7000 years...). Trekphiler 07:45, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] about the article

this article should cover rationing in australia. the article itself is biased towards the US, as there is only a small section on worldwide rationing other than in the US, while most of the article is on rationing in the US. please seperate into another article like rationing in the US or link to other articles.58.107.30.145 11:52, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Anyone is free to add information about rationing in Australia. The article isn't biased as I'm certain information about non-US rationing would be welcome. If you feel other articles should be linked to then you can do so. Bill faulk 16:42, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] World War II

I think the article should talk more about World War II rationing, which is what most people want/need to know about when they search rationing. Also, the article isn't titled 'United States rationing' and thus I do hope more people add things about other countries and their rationing histories. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.146.101.133 (talk) 19:09, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Frist?

OK, has anyone else heard about Frist and his office vaccinations? If not, that should probably be removed as a very likely attack. 68.39.174.238 02:45, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
