Italian term or phrase: andava diventando ancora più deficiente

Da qualche tempo la mensa del battaglione **andava diventando ancora più deficiente**: non più sussidiata dal comando, a poco a poco andarono aumentando i prezzi delle refezioni e le porzioni a... diminuire.

-> on imagine la cantine bu bataillon dans les années 1920... (les restrictions budgétaires étaient déjà en vigueur!)

Merci pour vos idées!!!
:-)

se faisait encore plus insuffisante

Explanation:

une lecture ... triste: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantine
En France d’avant-guerre, les rations alimentaires sont définies en fonction des catégories de détenus ; prévenus, accusés et détenus politiques peuvent recevoir leur repas de l’extérieur et acheter à la cantine. Les repas fournis aux détenus sont volontairement insuffisants pour ne pas dépasser ce que mangent les catégories sociales les plus pauvres53, pour participer à la pénitence et obliger les prisonniers à travailler au mieux afin d’obtenir avec leur pécule, jadis appelé le « denier de poche », un complément alimentaire à la cantine.
