Making T2K food acceptable

I think the kids were supposed to hunt the rats, but found out that the rats were armed with assault rifles...

Now that's a bad ass rat if he/she/it can use an assault rifle.

M16 M4 AK-47

Just curious

'cause if I see a rat with an assault rifle, I am calling in a tac air strike...NOW!!!!!!!!!

Wasn't there a module where the little kids are put to work catching rats for food

I do believe it is AoTN.

I was also struck by the description in the narrative about the flocks of startled pigeons fleeing the large broken windows of buildings . I figured a large net or two draped quietly over the openings, plus a home-made firecracker should bag enough sidewalk squab for eating, putting up as smoked meat in your larder, and trading off on the local market. I bet rats might be corralled and harvested in a similar way.
--Every food store, convenience store, dollar store, and drug store carries some form of spice. After 2 years the ground stuff might be a little stale or flat, but the solid spice (peppercorns, celery seed, cinnamon sticks, whole nutmegs, etc) would be in somewhat better condition.
--I wonder if the adventurers and crew of the USS Constitution replica in the Caribbean would think of hauling various spices, peppers, fruit, and coffee(!) northward to sell at extortionate prices.
--How long before people would start to raid the ice-melt section of the department and DIY stores for halite/rocksalt to use in preserving and cooking

Rats with assault rifles Sounds a bit more like Gamma World than Twilight 2000 there.

More like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. How about mutated rats as a Twilight Nightmare
