Start growing my own food and rearing my own animals. Between modern farming tech and greater agricultural knowledge beyond "Demons are blighting our wheat because the bishop says there's a witch somewhere", we should be good.
If I got desperate for protein I’d probably be first to strangle some geese at the park. Might start plinking birds and lizards with a slingshot and roast them up too. Pretty easy to build a crow trap btw. The whole flock hops in because they get competitive around food. For long term food though, getting some rabbits or guinea pigs and farming them for meat is king. Nothing cheaper than a meat factory that runs on grass and water.

I'm an animal rights activist who occasionally eats meat (ate chicken today even though I know we treat them worse than any other animal). You can think I'm soft because of it all you want, but I guarantee the practical corollary of my disposition is that I'll be able to eat humans far easier than most. Since I believe in speciesism, I'm basically doing that already.
And it's far easier for me to rationalise. Hell, we haven't even reached a post-apocalypse and I'm already 99% sure I could kill a wasp yuppie in the afternoon and sleep like a baby in the evening.
If food is that scarce then gains is the last thing you should be worrying about
Maybe you didn't see that movie about the bad batch
Cannibalism
It’s coming in your lifetime most likely

Is the fertilizer prices shit going to actually happen because I heard talk about it in June and it kind of died out
Yeah and countries are passing laws to limit fertilizer use. Less farming less cars more walking.
Fricking ESG
Eat the competition
Prion diseases are probably pretty rare right?
1 in 99 people in the UK
That's just the rate of inbreeding in the UK

I plan to kill fat and thin people as soon as possible to prevent wasting
I mean in the event of some kind of doomsday
>How do you expect to stay fitter and stronger than the vast majority of those competing for food?
Damn, that sure is a thinker.
And you know what?

I'm going to eat the "people" who "support" ukraine on social media and caused this whole situation.
