deep_sea_diver	Head of the chow line rights for kids Apr 4 2011, 10:05 AM EDT Children, are the future, in a survival/compound situation, the dietary needs of the young ones should come first. At least 1 person, and a small staff if possible, should be responsable for dietary needs of those under 10 or so. Adults can, get by, children tend to be picky eaters, and infants/toddlers need specialized foods. A blender/grinder will be needed to create baby foods, which should be made fresh if possible. Keep the feeding area as clean as possible, a sick child can be very difficult to manage medically when common remedies are in short supply, or non existant. Another on going problem will be a special laundry, to clean and supply diapers, infection/disease outbreaks from human waste will be a big threat as well. Bringing babies into the group is a huge responsibility, and plans should be in place to deal with all aspects of them. Transport, is just one of many problems your plan concerning infants should adress. Good luck on Z day Post reply 7 out of 7 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?

I believe that unless you are capable of providing for extra people, you should not bring a kid into the world, if for some reason, you have no choice, prepare to ration yourself more, because that kid is more important for the continued survival of humanity than you are, so he gets to eat properly. They also take priority when receiving medical supplies. However, once they hit a certain age, they will be given certain basic chores, and situational learning (the type of learning depends on your situation and which skills you feel the kid would excel at).

Maricely	2. RE: Head of the chow line rights for kids Apr 4 2011, 10:50 AM EDT That's funny, LJ and I were having a similar conversation last night. I was explaining that in my culture, women will serve food to the men first, then the children, then after everyone is taken care of, serve themselves. After Z day, I'm sure it'll be children first, then all adults. Post reply 2 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?

Good luck on Z day" Well to address the toddler problem in many African tribes rather than breastfeeding there children till there about 1-2 like they do in the west, instead they breast feed them till there around 3-4 while starting to feed them solid foods around age 2 this is supposed to make it so that the baby will eventually naturally stop breast feeding naturally on their own terms so their less traumatized or something I'll look more into this though.

RE: Head of the chow line rights for kids May 7 2011, 3:17 PM EDT \| Post edited: May 7 2011, 3:17 PM EDT Generally speaking while I like the sentiment of children first...it seems like those who do hard labour (farming for example) should get first pick of the food. I mean if this came up I probably couldn't care less who got to eat first so long as I got to eat at some point. Post reply 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?

LJ126	11. RE: Head of the chow line rights for kids May 7 2011, 7:12 PM EDT \| Post edited: May 7 2011, 7:18 PM EDT My family has always fed the kids first. The key word here is "FED" - meaning you FEED them. Serve them out a portion first, and wait until they begin eating to serve yourself. This has a two fold effect: One, you can kind of control what's on your kids plate (ensuring they get a shot at everything) and two, while they're eating they're occupied. This gives you a break to serve and eat for yourself. Besides, it just makes more sense from a practical standpoint. Ever watched a kid try to get themselves something to eat? They can't carve meat, nor should they, because they'll do a crappy job and destroy the meat, and possibly wind-up cut by the Ginsu knife. They get way too much of one thing (usually what they like) and not enough of what they should be eating. There's almost always waste (in the form of uneaten food) left over. Kids don't consider dietary requirements when they serve themselves either - food, like everything else, is recreation to them. In my world, I think kids should be served, and then the adults should eat together, serving themselves. Group cohesion and morale are more important in a survival situation than when everything is going well, and adults will address their own dietary needs. Also, every adult eating at the same time and in the same place will ensure that no unfair portioning occurs, in almost of a form of communal food policing. Gluttony can't be tolerated when food is being rationed. Obviously, people have different calorie requirements, but this will become less pronounced post Z-Day. Chubbies should eat less than the skinnies, and guys should eat more because their calorie requirements are generally higher (unless she's pregnant.) However, everyone's limited to what's available to them too... if all there is to eat is beans, everyone's eating beans. Life sucks. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
Carnack	12. RE: Head of the chow line rights for kids May 7 2011, 7:30 PM EDT \| Post edited: May 7 2011, 7:30 PM EDT LJ I have never seen a child get occupied by food. This coming from a guy whos church has hosted birth dinners, birthday dinners, funerals, weddings, family reunions, and assorted holidays. As for eating together I personally couldn't care less. I hate eating when I'm surrounded by people. Give me a quiet alcove any day of the week and twice on Tuesday. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
