First, food rationing in the U.S. didn't begin until mid-1942 so, like our involvement in the war, we were late in the game. Our rationing was much less restrictive than the British system, partly due to a very different kind of war (over "there" vs. at home). I also think the variety in the U.S. climate helped mediate the fruit and veg issues, since most of it could be grown here if needed, rather than needing to be shipped from elsewhere.
