Why did they get so much butter?
I like butter one toast etc but wouldn't get through that in a week.

Not just butter but margarine and lard as well. Must have been that bread wasn’t rationed.
Looks like bread and spuds were uncontrolled so plenty of opportunity to get through the butter also bread and dripping.
What was and was not rationed
The Government categorised foods into three groups: the first consisted of guaranteed rationed food, the second included foods like milk, eggs, fish, fruits, and vegetables whose availability fluctuated, and the third included staple foods such as bread and potatoes, which remained uncontrolled: a policy designed to stave off widespread hunger.
And strangely there weren't many fat people...

And strangely there weren't any processed foods full of sugar and low fat...
I call it killing us softly...even the "good" stuff is sprayed relentlessly with pesticides.
I'm happy my allotment gives us a release.

Maccys...gives me bad stomach...dog food.
I have a Maccy occasionally i prefer KFC unfortunately we have to go to the next town as we don't have a KFC here.
I remember the last time I had a maccy's, I went to Upton Park to see Argyle lose to the hammers 5-0, Sheringham scored a penalty, 19th Feb 2005.
Processed food is a killer.
