People have been predicting the end of the world since the time of Nostradamus (or perhaps even earlier than that), but so far, none of those so-called prophecies have come to pass.

Still, with shows like National Geographic’s Doomsday Preppers and the History Channel’s Mayan Doomsday Prophecy and movies like Seeking a Friend for the the End of the World and Melancholia, you can’t help but wonder, “What if today is that day? Am I prepared?”

Needless to say, if the apocalypse were to arrive today, money and all other commodities like gold and oil would be rendered useless. If you want to survive, you would need to go back to the basics: food, water, and shelter.

In FN’s first (and possibly last) End-of-the-World Survival Guide, we tackle the first of the three, and bring you five foods that may help you and your family get through the apocalypse.
