In an apocalyptic movie, would it be an accurate depiction for survivors to appear skinny and losing hair?

Asked by YoKoolAid (2424points) February 5th, 2010

Assuming the apocalypse didn’t just happen that is. How difficult would it be to maintain a healthy body weight with limited food resources? Pick an apocalypse movie, they’re all kinda the same. Little or no food, hunting rats and coyotes…if the movie were 100% accurate would all the survivors be skinny and losing hair and all that comes along with malnourishment?
