How to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse: The Food Guide

Many things are needed to survive when the zombie apocalypse happens including guns, equipment and shelter. But even more importantly it is necessary to have a food and water readily available. Some foods will help keep up energy during the zombie apocalypse and some foods will last forever. The best foods to keep on hand are foods that can be eaten without the need for heating or cooking.

Zombie Apocalypse Grocery List-

Hot Dogs: A must have food for the zombie apocalypse since they can be eaten hot or cold without the need for cooking. Don't be afraid to splurge on the high end hot dogs either since they are a good source of protein.

Twinkies:"Where are ya, you spongy, yellow, delicious bastards!" said Tallahassee in Zombieland. You will get a hunkering on for Twinkies when the zombie apocalypse happens. Be prepared and add them to your grocery list.

Canned Meats: Spam, potted meat, tuna fish, corned beef hash, etc. Meat equals protein and iron. These are necessities when battling the undead who want to eat your flesh.

Olives: Who said you can't have fine dining when the zombie apocalypse happens? Olives, both canned and jarred, do not have to be refrigerated, can be eaten right out of the can or jar, and are an excellent source of monosaturated fat (a good fat), iron and vitamin C. Olives are also an excellent source of fiber. Olives will keep you in tip-top shape for when you need to beat down the undead on your doorstep.

Bread: Carbs are good. Bread is full of carbohydrates and you will need them from all the exercise you get running. Remember "Rule #1: Cardio- Be sure that you can outrun the zombies! If you get caught, you become a zombie too! "

Potatoes: Potatoes are a must to have on your zombie apocalypse grocery list. Not only will potatoes keep you hydrated (they are full of water) but they are also a great energy food.

Fresh Vegetables: If available and accessible, then fresh vegetables are great energy foods. Do not, by any means, decide that a carrot is worth fighting the undead for. Just eat the potted meat instead.

Canned Fruits: Canned fruits can be stocked up on early before the zombie apocalypse takes place. These fruits have a long shelf life and can be eaten directly from the can.

Peanut Butter: Smooth or Crunchy doesn't matter. Peanut Butter is a great source of protein and is the perfect food for keeping up your energy when running from zombies. And you will be running from zombies.

Bottled Water: Is not a necessity but good to have on the list. It is debatable whether the disease of the undead can be passed through water or not. Best to be on the safe side and have bottled drinking water on hand.

Granola Bars/ Power Bars: Another energy food that should be on the zombie apocalypse grocery list. These bars are also small enough to fit in backpacks for when you must leave your shelter behind because it has been over run by the zombie horde.

Remember to make sure all food can be easily transported from one shelter to another when fleeing for your life.
