Can someone calculate the calories in that? I'm too lazy.

Maybe don't include the sugar. That's a shit ton of sugar to go through in month.

Half a liter of vodka monthly? Aren't the Poles known for their consumption of vast quantities of the stuff?

Yeast is not on the list but the 2kg of sugar wasn't just for cakes I'm sure.

Their priorities were fucked up. Cigarettes and alcohol, obviously, but more sugar than rice? Huh?

Also, lots of meat but no other food groups?

[-] Tja@programming.dev 15 points 3 days ago

Rice is not precisely native to Poland... The staple food is potatoes, which weren't rationed.

Would they have been expected to grow their own vegetables, or did they just embrace the average young male diet?

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 71 points 4 days ago

I believe vegetables weren't rationed

I'm not gonna say that's anywhere near sufficient, but as a US citizen where do I sign up

[-] PixellatedDave@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Well if you really want to be restricted purchasing the maximum amount of those items then you don't need to sign up. Just limit your monthly amount to be as displayed.

I'm as anti-capitalist as it comes but how the hell would this even last half a week, let alone a night with the vodka, rice, and sweets

Sounds like a miserable existence. You're going to need a lot more vodka than that to cope.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 38 points 4 days ago

Rationing in the early 80s is considered to be one of the major agitating factors that led to increased labor union activity and, thus, the eventual end of the Communist regime in Poland. Would seem that it was not nearly enough vodka to quietly cope!

I find it funny that a lot of people seem to be assuming that this is everything that they were allowed to eat. Fruits and veggies have been completely banned, in this world! Haha
