Exactly this ^ Yeah, but that is mostly protein and fibre, whereas most energy comes from carbs - you would have to eat a lot of apples - anyway, so many children would die from eating poisonous fruits/berries. Carbs come from crops like wheat, barley, hops - all of which need harvesting, which very few kids would understand, and next to none would have the strength or attention span to do it manually, in lieu of electric harvesting methods.

By "very few", I mean maybe 5-10 in the entire world, tops. Hardly a good seed. Perhaps, but quite a lot would go off while the 5 year olds were still joining sweets and sugar. Even so, (assuming 5 year olds could work a tin opener), even if there's 3-4 years worth of food (which is being kinda generous, imo)(remember than canned food can also go bad), in that time, all current crops would die, and fields would fill with weeds, making harvest even more difficult when it got to it. Also, many between 0-3 would die, as there would be no adults to take care of them.

They might be able to survive temporarily, but very, very few of them would even know what a harvest was, let alone how to do so. Also, since electricity would be dead, work would all have to be done manually, and 5 year olds wouldn't have the strength or attention span to do so.

Post-apocalypse is my favourite genre when it comes to reading, and in three different series, it has been everyone over the age of 15, and it seems to go quite well - so perhaps 12-14 year olds would also be fine?

Goodbye and good luck irl!
