Loyal Theorists, nowadays I seem to be thinking a lot about the future of the world. Over on my other channel, Game Theory, I've talked a lot about the franchise of Fallout. Now that we've launched Food Theory, I think it's time to cover a topic I've always wondered about - what CAN you eat after a nuclear apocalypse? What food out there is safe from the radiation that would permeate pretty much everything? Today, we're going to find out what's on the menu after nuclear fallout!

10:43 and in Chernobyl too, but they didn't bother to do that in Bryanskaya oblast (it's in Belarus, I think). It's a neighboring region that got affected by fallout, so local rural area inhabitants have to grow potatoes to the "full" cycle (where potato skin becomes very thick) and peel it really well. And even then there's a lot more radiation than in "standard" potato. Still edible afaik.

Thank you for this info. As a boomer when I was younger, there was no internet so it was harder to find answers. But the biggest road block was all of society. Friends and family would usually discourage you from finding answers to radiation questions. People were afraid if we talked about it then it might happen. So, nobody talked about it. Again thanks.

The more radioactive something is, the faster it decays into stable (i.e. non-radioactive) isotopes. Even just a few decades would be enough to leave everything mostly fine, and the fallout games all take place centuries after the fact.

Most radioactive debris has a half life in minutes hours or days. Its the basis for the rule of 7. The primary concern is the bio-volatile fission product daughters radioiodine and radiocesium that are the most likely byproducts of fission of Uranium 235, they are what you were talking about at the roughly 8 min 30 second mark These isotopes have half lifes long enough that it takes roughly 30-40 years to fully decay. In the Pripyat area for example the only place there is any RS and RC left is in some mycellium, they no longer find it in the fish and animals. So have non perishable stores, use aquaponics indoor, store bags of pre fertilized soil, and make sure you can make it 40 years and it stops being a problem.

He covered that on film theory, although it is also a book. I like your idea and have thought of it myself, but I don’t think it will be the blue bottom right theory channel.

That would take knowing how much gas you have for the back-up generators for the freezers. you could put fresh food in there for a year but then after that it comes down to expiration of canned items. 1-2 years, 4-5 if you don't mind some poisoning. If you chose a superstore type location you could use the garden equipment stores of mulch to start composting to produced safe soil to start producing your own food from seeds in the store.

@midgematic8659 3 жыл бұрын

Honestly this is a loaded question because due to panicking in a death situation superstores would be the first targets to hoarding so they’d do doubt be sucked dry from its food and necessities in a few days tops. What the comment above stated though if the superstore has gardening equipment you’d be able to get good crops from the amount of fertilizer and maybe a green house if you’re lucky

@PBSpiralGamer 3 жыл бұрын

That would depend on how large the store is and what percent of items in that store can be eaten. Even then, some foods may last longer than others/have more servings. Also, does the store have anything you can cook with? Raw meat doesn’t taste great. Ideally, you would want to eat things that spoil the fastest first. If I had to take a guess based off of my local Fred Mayer’s, I would say... Maybe 5 or 6 years if all the coolants and things stayed on inside the store, and maybe like a year or 2 if everything stopped working in there.

If you look at the river monster episode based in chernobyl you actually see that the underwater poplation appears to be heavily affected. It is mainly due to the absence of humans that animals are thriving, but they are all several generations later. This would give them time to develop immunity because natural selection would become 'literally anyone without this mutation dies' instead of 'this one is slightly better. give it a few million years'

In Disney's animated film Atlantis: the lost empire, the expedition team are seen eating meals comprised entirely of bacon grease as it's the only food their cook (Cookie) has to serve them on the long journey. Could the various members of the Atlantis exploration party survive for the duration of their journey eating only bacon grease and remain healthy enough to continue their journey? Has there been a IRL equivelant situation? Common sense may indicate it's improbability but what does the science say? I wholly believe you are the right people for the task of answering these questions. Thank you and good luck.

The thing that most bothers me about the Fallout series however is that it's been over 200 years since the nuclear exchange. And while things might not be perfectly safe, most of the radiation and fallout from the Great War will have long since been removed from the environment. Nuclear scientists believe that strontium-90 is one of the most dangerous isotopes created from a nuclear explosion, and that has a half life of 29 years. By the time of Fallout 4, 7.2 half lives have passed. That means that 99.7% of the strontium has decayed into zirconium. Radiation shouldn't be an issue really at all by that point.

@infinitecdc 3 жыл бұрын

@engel7461 3 жыл бұрын

Some isotopes are still really dangerous like plutonium-239 which has a half life of 24,100 years. So no it could be plutonium-239 (unless it is stated in the fallout wiki or the game that it is strontium-90 or another isotope with a short half life) so I might not be strontium-90 which has a half life of 29 years like you said.

@VulcanTrekkie45 3 жыл бұрын

Cole Camara Well the big concern with strontium 90 is that it acts chemically just like calcium so it gets deposited in our bones and teeth. And continues to emit radiation for decades. Everyone on earth today has at least some strontium 90 in their bones and teeth
