THE STORY BEHIND
MEAT RATIONING
Food is a weapon of war, and we must share our supplies with those who
are fighting to keep the war from our shores. After all special wartime
demands are taken care of, only one half of the meat produced in
Canada will be available for ordinary domestic consumption at home.
Meat supplies for our Armed Forces must be
maintained at all costs.
-..:.....; :;-_,,....
,,.....„.... -----
------- -------.
..................,.• ...........w
.........,.....
............,..... ...............
,....r..... .............
Great ilaritain has to depend more and more
on Canada for supplies to maintain even its
present low ration rate of 28 cents worth of
meat per person, per week.
AN**
isaniaftes
Since the war started the consumption of
meat by civilians has increased in Canada.
Great defense projects such as the Alcan
Highway and the Shipshaw Power Develop-
ment have created new and large demands
for meat in areas where practically no demand
existed before.
• Canned meat is required in large quantities
by the Red Cross to send to our boys who
are prisoners of war.
Places like Newfoundland and the West Indies,
which previously secured their meat from
other sources—must now depend to a great
extent on Canada.
The many extra ships of the United Nations
now calling at Canadian ports, must be
furnished with meat.
RATIONING IS INTELLIGENT FORESIGHT-- INTELLIGENT PLANNING
Coupon rationing is the only way of ensuring equal sharing of the meat available
for civilian consumption in Canada. Those with lots of money will not get more
than their share—and those with less money will be assured of getting
their fair share.
Rationing will help prevent local meat shortages such as occurred last year from
becoming widespread and continuous throughout the whole Dominion. The
incentive for panic -buying which empties butcher shops early in the day,
will be eliminated.
THE MEAT RATION WILL BE AMPLE FOR HEALTH AND NUTRITION
Fortunately, our meat production in Canada has increased. So, although only
half our production will be available for civilian use, it wil mean a reduction
of only about 15% to 20% in the average household consumption.
The proposed ration of 2 llas. (carcass weight) per person, per week, has been
approved by the country's leading food and nutrition authorities, as ample for
&e health and nutrition standards of everyone—regardless of age or occupation.
DATES AND OTHER DETAILS REGARDING MEAT RATIONING—SOON TO
BECOME EFFECTIVE IN CANADA— WILL BE ANNOUNCED LATER
