Yep, that's the kind of disconnect I mean, and the kind of disconnect FarmVille fosters. After three years, the only edible stuff left in an apocalyptically abandoned supermarket would be dried stuff and tinned stuff. People would farm and hunt voluntarily, even if they had the regional supply center for a great chain next door, because a) OMG boring and b) OMG scurvy!!

Fun fact: I once knew a lady to actually get scurvy! She'd lived on cookies and coffee, mostly, with the occasional sausage and bread roll, and had managed to eliminate all vitamins from her food for a long time. Doctors were baffled -- none of them had seen it in a living person, or paid attention during their medical courses because they'd never see it anyway...
