The End of the World

The world is ending. There are natural disasters happening everywhere. You know that soon you will be stranded in your house with only the food left in your cupboards. You make a mad dash to the grocery store but everyone there is in such chaos that you know you'll only have time to grab one item before escaping with your life. What item of food do you grab?


In such a scenario, I would get a fifty pound bag of potatoes. That is a lot of food for only one item and a potato is starch. You don't need a lot to fill you, or at least to sate your hunger. I would most definitely share it with my family. How could I not? I wouldn't to be holed up in my house with my whole family and watch them die of starvation one by one while I had enough food to keep us all alive for awhile. Once, maybe twice a day, we would each eat one half on one potato. Eat it sparingly. If we had a way to cook it, we would. If we had something to put on it, we would. Once there were only ten potatoes left, we would all get to eat one whole potato for the last meal we would ever have.
