Project G


Project G Rationing was voluntary during the first world war. How did our government persuade, rather than mandate, people to ration? Why would Congress consider a ban on the creation of distilled "spirits"? Why was rendered fat from cooking saved? What other cultural adaptations did people have to tolerate with rationing?
