Making sure you get appropriate nutrition?

Mom, I am on a desert island. I do not know what appropriate nutrition constitutes.

Fruit, meat? Nuts? Grains and bits of foliage – probably stay away from any berries until you know more certainly that they're safe.

… I don't think there is any way for me to process grain?

There's not any corn, is there?

There is indeed no corn on the island as far Anthony's botanist skills can tell.

Tragically not.

I should really know more about nutrition…

– It's okay, honestly, I'm sure Evan can look around for me.

No, no, I – I mean, yes, but – hold on a moment.

Sure.

So – main things are protein, energy, various vitamins. If you have nuts, you'll get a lot of those, and you'll also want… I assume you have appropriate quantities of sunlight, if you can something colorful and maybe a root vegetable that'd be a good priority, also – can you get fish?

… The only ones I've noticed so far have been piranhas. At night.

Okay, well, piranhas are – not the first choice, I don't think.

No. Probably not.

… I'll look for some more information, how about, and you see if you can get the other things?

I've already been looking, but yeah.

Ah. Good luck.

He continues collecting things.

After a bit he goes to look for some fish.

Well, he could follow a stream or he could over to the nearest beach? The stream is closest, but doesn't look particularly deep.

Beach!

There are fishes on the beach! Also other aquatic lifeforms like starfish and oysters. Is he any good at identifying different kinds of fish?

A little! Not really but he probably knows more than the average person. (His mom is quite outdoorsy. Ish. Kinda. In a way.)

The waters are clear enough that he can see some.

Would he be able to recognize anchovy, tuna, sardine and herring?

… Actually yes, and he's sort of surprised by this. Huh. Oh well.

He doesn't suppose he can grab hold of any of them so he can act out his evil plot of, like, eating them…
