Some of the regular PB commenters have started a discussion about food to take during the Rapture. Implausibly, salad is mentioned as a meal for the trip. Its light and digestible. But what if the Rapture takes 2000 years? Will the Rapturees arrive alive at their destination alive?
Food and snack suggestions are welcome. A nutritional plan for an extended journey is also needed.

Pat,
Thanks for taking this seriously.

What about trail mix?! It may be too filling, but if the body is turning celestial, would it make that much difference?
I've always loved the idea of trail mix but I get heart burn from it. It's like granola, I eat too much. Now salad... Shouldn't there be inflight food during the rapture?
Why not eating and drinking stations on the journey. After all, it could take a long time. We're not talking about earth time. My idea is that the Rapture would be like a big marathon and the Rapturees could stop and eat, maybe sleep on cots, then jump back into the jet stream.
Might be a good time to lose some weight rather than eat nervously.
Everyone is a foody. What about fasting with a coffee enema?
An enema?! Holy crap. Where's it all going in outer space? If it's inner space, it's even tighter.
Starbucks for the Joe?
p.s. Is that Naugahyde couch still available?
It's still around but I had it stuffed so I'm not sure I want to sell it.
It was an orange colored couch? Too bad. It would be a good place to wait for the Rapture.
I think being fat as a country delays the Rapture so more people can be saved, if they aren't all killed by crazy people with guns. This is akin to the Buddhist Idea of the Bodhisattva who delays enlightenment until all sentient beings are enlightened. "Sentient Beings" doesn't exactly ring the abbots bell any more, but that's the way it goes.
Are you making an argument akin to how many stout people can eat on the head of a pin and drink the awful jug wine you reviewed?
Kevin,
It wasn't jug wine. I wasn't making enough money on my creative writing so I took a job reviewing wine and food. The restaurant review column was written under a different name and the reviews were fraudulent and in some instances for sale.
Dehydrated camping food is the answer. If there's no rapture, go backpacking. It's expensive but the occasion warrants the expenditure.
