Everybody was effected by rationing in WW2 but there were different amounts for different situations. for instance children were entitled to half a pint of milk where as an adult was allowed much less than that.there were different coloured ration books for different ages/problems.

To the best of my knowledge there was no food rationing during the 1930's depression, at least not in the United States. The only food rationing was during World War 2 in the 1940's.
The Office of Price Administration administered the Food Ration Program and other rationing in the United States. The Food Department of the Board of Trade (Food Ministry) administrated the food rationing in Great Britain.
rationing was used during WWII, carpools, meatless and wheatless days to save food for the troops, and blackouts to save energy.
I just answered this question on another question. See my answer on the link below. Rationing not only affected food availability it affected fuel consumption, use of cars, tires and even nylons. There was even rationing of antibiotics and other medications amongst the medical professionals so the servicemen could have the necessary medical supplies. There was rationing of clothing because they needed fabric and leather for the uniforms.
