meat rations
Controlled flesh portions
Meat rations are controlled portions of meat distributed during times of scarcity, typically wartime or economic crisis.
Governments impose rationing to ensure fair distribution when supply can't meet demand: During World War II, families received meat rations through a coupon system.
The phrase can also describe any limited allocation of meat, as in institutional settings or survival situations.
