OK, I haven't checked all the posts, and can't devote the time to the game as I would like, but I have a question; food, how do I keep them alive until I can banish the sharks? I have used up all of the honey, have my kids getting every mushroom they can find, how do I keep them alive until they can fish (assuming they fish like in VV2)??? thanks! (spoilers welcome) heh

1) Mushrooms (as you already noted)
2) Chief making magic food every 24 hrs
3) Did you plant the fruit already?
4) SPOILER: Figure out how to plant more fruit
5) SPOILER: Healing potion (lotus + lotus + cactus) when their health bar dips down due to starvation
