First you want to eat plants. what you do is long and complicated. the whole process of just finding out if a plant is edible takes about 20 hours. First you take a piece of the plant and you break it open and smell it. If it smells like almonds or peaches, throw it away. If it passes that test, then you break it open and rub it on your wrist. Wait two hours and if any redness or irritation occurs, then the plant isn't edible. If it doesn't cause any problems, then you rub it on your lips. If there is any irritation, then its bad. Then, if nothing changes, you can take a tiny bite of the plant. You don't want to swallow it, just hold it on your tongue. If it starts to burn, spit it out and try another plant. If not, you may swallow the piece. Wait 12 hours and see if it causes any problems. If not, eat to your hearts desire, sort of.

If plants are not enough for you, then you may begin to eat bugs and fish. To get bug you can just go out in the early morning while it's still cold and look where you would normally find bugs (sheltered spots). Grasshoppers and ants are best due to their high nutritional value and ease to catch. With grasshoppers, you want to break off their heads, legs, and wings so they don't get stuck in your mouth or try to crawl out of your stomach. Ants should be fried and eaten in soups as a kind of sugar or flour.
