Perhaps the most Paleo (and arguably the healthiest) option to consider is a short fast! The health/longevity benefits of intermittent fasting are beginning to surface in many recent studies, so being caught somewhere with no suitable food might be a good time to exercise this simple alternative. And since Paleo folks did not have access to refrigerators, McD's and vending machines, they most certainly endured occasional fasting periods of varying duration.

Let's assume restaurants like steak houses, and grocery stores are out of the question. I know how to handle those. Tim
