Loyal Theorists, nowadays I seem to be thinking a lot about the future of the world. Over on my other channel, Game Theory, I've talked a lot about the franchise of Fallout. Now that we've launched Food Theory, I think it's time to cover a topic I've always wondered about - what CAN you eat after a nuclear apocalypse? What food out there is safe from the radiation that would permeate pretty much everything? Today, we're going to find out what's on the menu after nuclear fallout!

"Radiation can cause cancer" "radiation can end cancer" Radiation: I play both sides so no matter what, I come out on top
-
I can’t wait for your final channel: Conspiracy theory
-
Sunflowers are proven to pull radiation from soil. So plant sunflowers in former garden areas then move 10 ft of topsoil from area you need to use now in mean time
-
War never changes

“ Oh sorry about your leg”. “Ah don’t worry I got plenty”. Me: Starts drinking unsee juice
-
Plants that are good at dealing with radiation: sunflowers, hemp, seaweed

10:43 and in Chernobyl too, but they didn't bother to do that in Bryanskaya oblast (it's in Belarus, I think). It's a neighboring region that got affected by fallout, so local rural area inhabitants have to grow potatoes to the "full" cycle (where potato skin becomes very thick) and peel it really well. And even then there's a lot more radiation than in "standard" potato. Still edible afaik.

Thank you for this info. As a boomer when I was younger, there was no internet so it was harder to find answers. But the biggest road block was all of society. Friends and family would usually discourage you from finding answers to radiation questions. People were afraid if we talked about it then it might happen. So, nobody talked about it. Again thanks.

How bout an episode on the “wait 30 minutes after eating to swim” rule
-
“You can farm plants on radiation, but you can’t eat them” Now that’s a Double Baltic
-
technically, in the time frames fallout is dealing with, everything would be safe by the time you leave your bunker.
-
0:00 I love the fallout vault-tec reference.
-
"What's SAFE To Eat After Nuclear Fallout?" I'm assuming uranium doesn't follow the 5 second rule
-
MatPat: "Do you know what ionizing radiation is?" Me: "The thing that killed Michael Myers? Heck ya."
-
Plants: growing in radioactive soal Also plants:this is fine
-
I guess greenhouses are about to be my best bet to survive
-
This tip is gonna be really useful for the apocalypse next month
-
Matpat: Basically everything you hated to eat as a kid Me who liked cauliflower as a kid: "they called me a madman"
-
One year later and this information is more relevant than ever....

6:44 it’s kind of cursed when he shaved his hair because the hair is still there but it’s the same colour as his skin and it’s just cinda weird
