I’m assuming they got carbohydrates elsewhere? That hardly seems like enough calories to last a working adult for a week. Also that’s a ton of sugar it’d take me at least a month to go through that amount but also I don’t drink tea like the Brits do.
I would assume most of that sugar is going into cakes and puddings. If you’re only getting one egg a week, it’s probably put to more use in baking than eating straight up.
I get it. I made a concerted effort to stop using sugar in foods, and I’ve been quite successful. Carrots are a great way to add sweetness, so I go through a ton of those orange beauties.

Yeah, these are just the rationed goods. Bread wasn’t rationed during WW2 for the Brits. Vegetables and the like also weren’t rationed.
That amount of sugar would last me years, and I drink tea everyday, just not with sugar.

Carrot cake surged in popularity during WW2 for that reason.
Carrot cake is so good! Too bad it took a world war to make it popular.
