They find food in boxes and cans, eat stray animals, and collect edibles from parks and gardens.<br /><br />Toward the end of the novel, a couple characters mention that it's getting harder to find food in the city, and if I ever finish the sequel, the issue of food is going to be much more important. Zoo Tribe might become a major player, since they've done pretty well with the petting zoo animals, breeding the goats for milk and meat, eating duck eggs, and things like that.<br /><br />Water is another long-term issue, since existing commercial water filters will only work for so long. Luckily a savvy teenager with the right books can figure out how to make filters with sand and charcoal, and then pasteurize the water by putting it in clear bottles and leaving them in the sun on a metal surface.Ann (bunnygirl)http://www.ampino.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6326445835838355964.post-28539387358460246272010-05-17T11:16:19.241-05:002010-05-17T11:16:19.241-05:00This is the part of your fictional vision that fre...This is the part of your fictional vision that freaks me out the most.

The melba toast might stretch far enough if everyone only has one, but the pudding would be barely a spoonful each.Alice Audreyhttp://www.aliceaudrey.com/?page_id=4029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6326445835838355964.post-52802749993184884822010-05-17T04:20:18.340-05:002010-05-17T04:20:18.340-05:00There seems to be niggling stories behind the stor...There seems to be niggling stories behind the story!
