Answer:
rationing
Step-by-step explanation:
Rationing supplies is something that usually happens during wars or natural disasters, it is not normal for it to happen. In the US, food rationing formally ended in 1954, and the last item to be de-rationed was meat. It was only a formality since World War II had ended in 1945, and most items had been de-rationed shortly after the war was over.
Never again has food or any other type of good been rationed in the whole country as part of a national policy.
