    WWII for the canned food. That’s why them and Boomers hold onto a bunch of food items that only happened for 15-20 years.

      I feel like the food rationing for some things during WWII wasnt enough of a large scale change from the depression era rationing to be notable. Regardless that’s still about 15+ years of food scarcity to have a major cultural impact especially since much like right now the buildup to the great depression fully stetting in started as early as 1925 in some areas.
