Henry's Nucle-Os by Stanford University

This story describes the agricultural implications of a potential nuclear conflict in terms of calories, both the amount that crops might produce and the amount that we might consume under different atmospheric conditions. It is up to the reader to discover the data for themself by completing the activities on the back of the cereal box: the lines that they draw will themselves become additional dimensions to the visualization. In this inviting format, the reader must grapple with the prospect of a food-scarce future while eating their first meal of the day.

The corn maze and word search are based on charts from a research paper predicting how atmospheric soot injections from nuclear conflict might affect everyday life. The paper is cited underneath the activities. Reference data and the quote that inspired this piece in the first place are found on the Nutrition Facts label.
