The situation:

A national-scale disaster occured. Total anarchy. Law and order collapsed. The mob is rioting in the streets, the remnants of government authorities are stuggling to defend themselves, etc. . You're out of food, there are no deliveries of fresh food, all your stored food is gone and you need a bite to eat for you/ your family REALLY bad.

Option One: Eat your pets

Option Two: Seek, kill and eat your neighbours.

Get together with a group of people and claim a farm for our own. With all the gun nuts out there I'm sure there are experienced hunters as well. If there was a breakdown in civil services though you'd most likely die of disease before starving anyway.

No fresh food available? Choice between eating either pets or people? Massive anarchy?

Yeah, I think that's the single-case scenario where I'd finally walk into a McDonalds and order something.

Not sure you'd need to order - just go behind the counter and take what you like. Personally I'd go down to the local supermarket and get all the tinned food I can carry.

By the way, I'm a little confused by the poll option 'Eat your sick bastard!'

How about option Three: Eat your family?

As much as I dislike my neighbours, I can think of better things to eat.

Besides, I know a bit about how to forage, which isn't something that can be said of most, so I won't be the first to go starving.

I wouldn't eat my pets too hairy and bad tasting same goes for my neighbours

I would eat pictures of food I guess or just go to an international aid centre there bound to have some food what with that being there mission and such

I wouldn't eat my pets too hairy and bad tasting same goes for my neighboursThen skin them first. You think cows are hairless? And you can fix the taste with herbs and spices, or deefry them.
It's not like you have to put them in your mouth as they are, just gut them, skin them, cook them, then eat them. Debone them if you feel like being fancy..

Which reminds me, I'm living in cow-country. I can eat those.

I think I'd take option three: let your pets eat those really annoying neighbors next-door.

Speaking as one of the "gun-nuts", I'd go hunting.

what about eating the neighbors pets?

I LIKE my dog....

Good idea. I hate pets.

Good thinking! But my neighbors Dog is nice too....my neighbors grandmother isn't tho......

To make the poll more interesting we'll assume the supermarket has already been looted and there are NO MORE storages of food available. No hunting, no foraging, etc. .

Personally I'd go for my neighbours. My rich, tasty neighbours... Gotta get them before they invite me over for dinner - me being the main course. :shock:

All my neighbors are rednecks. I might die of indigestion, but the world wouldn't miss them. I'm not eating my cats. Besides, I'm straight.

Neighbors, most definitely. I've already wished them dead more times than I can say. I probably wouldn't even have to kill them myself; they're all so belligerent and stupid, I'm sure they'd do it for me. :)

So you'd go for the neighbors too, then. ;)

Yes, I would like to supersize my soylent green!

My cats are family and one of my neighbors poisoned my dog, I'll go for the neighbors. With a nice chianti and some fava beans.
