We had real books not PDFS and we carried them on carts we pulled ourselves that we built by hand. We had Thaco and we were happy. If we needed dice we carved ours out of wood. Petrified wood just because we could.

She makes it in a PIZZA pie pan, so it’s about 18" across and 2.5/3 deep, with a thick, caramelized crust of brown sugar. Heat it up, add a little bit of milk or ice cream, it’s the closest thing you'll get to perfection this side of Heaven. And the best part is, if you leave it out for a few days, you'll start attracting flies (which you can catch and eat if your really desperate for other food).
If I can't have that, then I'll take some long pork (and what food they would have brought will be MINE).

The trick is to pick the right side dishes and sauces, lots of apple- and barbeque-sauce, and not to let the other diners know what their eating.

Oh, starvation will convince you to do a great many things, and, like I said, it will probably be rather common, just, well, ewwww
On the flip side, if zombieification happens overnight, and less than 2% of the population excapes the initial attacks, then I think the food will last a very long time. But thats me, lol
Well, for all my comments about the utilities and how I think they wouldn't go down in another thread, I do tend to agree that food could be a problem, although I do tend to think the water would keep flowing for a good, long while.
Understand that food is stocked for mass consumption, the shelf life of most items isn't all that long. A couple of months tops in *MOST* cases. This means more demand for the things that aren't perishable, divided between whatever survivors there are who would be grabbing as much as they can, and stockpiling. Even canned goods don't last as long as a lot of people think, which is why even today you have people killing themselves from Bochalism <SP> or whatever, thinking that canned food is nearly indestructable. Notice it DOES have an expiration date on it.
So, as a result your going to find most of the baked goods, milk products, and meat, stocked are going to be rotted if it wasn't consumed. After a while even the canned goods aren't going to be paticularly safe.
So yes, getting food would be a problem, especially in heavily urbanized areas. Plus while a lot of people know how to farm, and properly dress and prepare animals, many (like me) do not.
Of course today my reliance on medication would probably cause me more problems, faster.
But then again that is probably why I have some of my attitudes about a post apocolyptic zombie uprising type scenario (if I think about it IRL). One way or another I'm doomed if I just let things collapse entirely, and nothing is going to change if I just sit there barracaded in a room, hoping someone else would do something.
But then again I'm a mess, so all mental exercises aside, who the heck knows what would happen nowadays.

As an aside, a can of peaches from a stash dated back to the Napoleanic wars was opened and was still edible so as long as the can itself isnt damaged the food inside should be edible, maybe not fresh from the garden good but edible.

While that is good research, it's still nothing i'd want to try.....
