In 1962, food [[rationing in Cuba|rationing]] was introduced throughout the entire island. While some argue this was a response to the [[United States embargo against Cuba]], the Cuban government stated this method of distribution control served to ensure each citizen a minimum intake of food, regardless of the person’s social and economical status, in line with standard socialist theory. Much of the rationed food was grown in Cuba in abundance prior to the revolution. In practice rationing provided state control over everyone's food supply allowing Cuba's government to withhold food from its opponents. Without the new government food ration cards, the remaining insurgents starved. Some of them surrendered, only to be immediately executed. Others fought on to the death. A few managed to escape [http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/book/escambray-18.htm]. The losses by Castro's forces are believed to be staggering, but there is little documentation available to determine the actual numbers. The ruthlessness with which the resistance was suppressed is well described in Franqui (1984, pp.111-115).
