The mighty American military during WWII would have been nothing
without its surprisingly-important rationing system.  Food kept the
United States going, so therefore, it is well worth studying. 
Throughout WWII and the years beyond, the US entered/exited several
"eras" of rations:

• A Rations
• B Rations
• K Rations
• C Rations
• LRRP Rations
• MREs
