Why don't they just freaking ration all the food? Then the commies can tell us exactly what to eat and how much.

Bad news coming, thought Winston. And sure enough, following on a gory description of the annihilation of a Eurasian army, with stupendous figures of killed and prisoners, came the announcement that, as from next week, the chocolate ration would be reduced from thirty grammes to twenty.

--1984, George Orwell

Big Brother says you can have 20 grams of chocolate per week. For reference, a Hershey's milk chocolate bar like the ones at the checkout line weighs 43 grams.

As a child, I can recall my mother, standing by the stove, softening up her Cadbury's. When asked about her chocolate rituals, she would respond, "because during the War it was rationed, and now I eat what I like."
She is now 71, and keeps her chocolate hidden in a drawer, despite the fact she knows my father wouldn't touch her chocolate bar lol.
