Commentary: Zombie apocalypse — who will live?

By Howard Schneider
The Washington Post
 




"The morbidly obese won’t do so well, since we’ll need to keep moving to escape the walking dead. But the ultra-slim and ultra-fit — even those as well-trained as marathoners or toting a bunch of muscle, which can be tapped for energy when calories are scarce — are likely to run out of gas before more moderately shaped people, which should be some comfort to most of us. Vitamin and mineral deprivation will produce chronic problems longer-term, Mishori said, but not in those first critical days."
