I had these two breakfasts one day apart and it got me thinking about what each represents, vis-a-vis this ongoing *end of the world* event. One is clearly healthier than the other, but the benefits of each during this time may not be obvious. So here goes. # 1
**Egg & Bacon cupcake with avocado, tomato and rocket salad.**
**Pros:** Healthy and highly nutritious. Also quite tasty I might add. **Cons:** All ingredients are fresh and require refrigeration. Even in a fridge, ingredients will spoil within a week or two. In a pandemic lockdown; will keep your immunity strong but the ingredients cannot be efficiently hoarded. ___ # 2
**Layer Cake: honey, caramel, nuts and chocolate**
**Pros**: Keeps in the box for many months. Once opened, keeps for about a week when refrigerated. Packed with calories. **Cons**: Full of sugar and low in good nutrients. In a pandemic lockdown; will keep you alive for longer due to calorie density. Can be hoarded for months efficiently in it's packaging and stores away on a shelf. Will do nothing for your immune system though. ___ Here's the question: If you're going to be locked indoors for 4 months (as is being threatened in the UK for the elderly), which option would you rather have and why? *You'd be allowed to shop once before the lock up*
