Ok the next poster better not recommend seasonings, or at least paprika.

Keeping this rooted in NV and not reality.
TBH most would die from these events or even lesser ones, food would not be that short.
At least for most, even California after the destruction still had fresh food sources above ground when the vaults opened.
By FO2 they were hunting even more varied game.

Again if asked my answer is maybe if someone else, irl if an apocalypse happened and I managed to survive no as I'd still die in a few days due to lack of medicine.

probably couldn't stomach it even if i needed to

I would try my best to live off the land, and I would never kill someone to eat them but if they were already dead and I was starving, and I couldn't drink stim packs :foodndrink: then I would eat them.

In the event of a global nuclear war most of the humans will die, but the food potential of the land itself will be lowered too. Soil poisoned, machinery destroyed, animals killed. Without genetically engineered crops, irrigation, pesticides, fertilizer, and powered equipment, and the general lack of knowledge regarding simplistic agriculture, you're looking at 3000BCE level farming that we have to rediscover in one year. Many many more will die to starvation, and the violence that results from it. Hunting will be difficult due to low animal populations and people's general inexperience with hunting. And don't plan on canned food lasting very long. Anybody who's actually worked in grocery can tell you that our food supply is a constant stream moving through. It seems like there's tons of canned food because it keeps arriving on a daily basis by the trailer-load. Without farms growing the food, factories processing and canning that food, and without the road system and trailer rigs to move it around, canned food is going to dry up very fast.

Sorry. It would be extremely grim all around.

If there was no alternative, most people would resort to cannibalism to survive. That's just human nature. Intense hunger would easily overpower any ethical dilemma you may have.

Im sorry but this has to be said its ripe and im surprised somebody else didnt do this-Unfortuneately thats what she said :nono:

No way the idea of eating someone is just.....yuck. I'd rather starve

Not saying I wholly disagree with you, but you should read a book called Nothing to envy..
It recounts true first hand accounts of an impoverished nation cut off from the rest of the world.
Mixed with factual statistics and what little media coverage there is inside the state.

Later on it goes through constant mass starvation, and situations that would make a quick nuclear war seem cheery.
Many starved themselves and their older sicker relatives to feed younger members, they ate grass and weeds for days / weeks / months.
Those few reports of canibalism, led to instant death sentences from the crowd not the state, years they went through this.
Their society may be different from many, and many others may resort to eating other humans, but the fact is many don't.
Many would rather starve and die then take that act.
It gives me hope thinking about it tbh.

Probably not. If I was in a situation where cannibalism was the only option, I would probably commit suicide.

:nope:

wtf.... that is just disgusting to resort to stuff like that i would never in my life do that your EATING ANOTHER HUMAN could you ever just forget about that. Its kinda weird.

Yea, I would.

I'd do whatever I needed to survive.

Yup. I'll try anything once (when it comes to food).

I would rather steal my food or die hunting.

If it was my absolute last resort, yes.

I definitely would want to find civilization somewhere though, somewhere safe. But if worse comes to worse, I'd have to go for it, just to stay alive obviously.

yah i think thats what i would do. I couldnt bring myself to eat other people its sick and wrong

As much as it is deemed sick and wrong in a modern era, consider the state you have got yourself into now? There would be no guarantee we'd have the same success our character would have in FO.

You'll need all you can get, right? And if all you can get isn't there, but a corpse is, your on the brink of survival. I'm sure it'd be something you consider if it was a similar situation.

And just to note, I ain't turning people to cannibalism, I'm just giving opinions :blush: .

I dont know i think i would Rather starve to death or eat like grass or dirt.

Fair play. But do remember if your dying for food, and you somehow come across me, all I'll do is slide you a plate of cooked fingers and a bit of brain salad. Take it or leave it :whistling: .

UGH disgusting i would leave it. Im not gonna lie i would proably get a gun and kill myself rather than do that kind of stuff.
