Cannibalism: Consider Gardening Instead

Cannibalism is a serious breach of social etiquette. While it might be tempting to see a group of fellow survivors as a lot of protein on the hoof, they are probably just as much against being sacrificed and eaten as you are. 

The whole "do unto others" thing will take on even greater importance when the people you meet are armed to the teeth and hungry.

Certain skills will doubtless be much less useful in the apocalypse. For instance, the demand for insurance claims processors will likely plummet in the absence of insurance companies, insurance, hospitals, health maintenance organizations, etc.

A person without a useful skill will look mighty tasty, and have little to offer the new society but calories. 

A person with a skill - especially one that will provide food - will be far more useful. If you can grow your own food and food for your community, you will be a revered member of society.

Preferably, the photo should be shot with a full-length mirror and you wearing some sort of casual athletic apparel and your bestest ever resting bitch face.  Wait for the first of the thousand papercuts to arrive. "You look [a number that is at least a decade more than you have shared you are]"   Repost the whole thing to say, "this is what I was told when I shared my age"  Wait for the "support" team to arriv...
