  Just some interesting things to note from Henretta about WWII Rationing: "People found it especially hard to cut back on sugar.....the manufacturers of products such as Coca-Cola and Wrigley's chewing gum received unlimited quantities fo sugar by convincing the government tha their products helped the morale of the men and women in the armed forces". Woooooooo we are really really a nation addicted to sugar. But what's more interesting: "Congress imposed a nationwide speed limit of 35 miles per hour...as a result, highway death rates dropped dramatically. " WOW!!!!! Speed limit NATIONWIDE at 35 mph.......Man in today's lightning pace stressful lives......Such a speed limit would certainly kill off lots of people!!!!!!!!! !
