What euphemism was used to convince the animals that they were not really receiving less food than they had under Jones?

The euphemism used to convince the animals that they were not receiving less food than they had under Mr. Jones was "rations." The pigs claimed that the animals were now receiving "better rations," implying improved quality rather than a decrease in quantity. This manipulation of language helped to obscure the reality of their diminishing provisions while maintaining the illusion of progress and welfare on the farm.
