Dude, you watch too much zombie flicks.
The reason this can't happen is because America ... United States of America, that is, is a civilized country. We have something in our society that developed in the late 70's called a "social safety net". Many already industrialized countries have this. Think of the infrastructure already in place. We have railways, airstrips and roads. We have security camera's and maps and plans to implement a nationwide maglev network. You think the people would give that amount of advanced civilization even after a nuclear war? These things are far too precious for a country to give up on right now.
About running out of food ... well, thats not going to happen. Already a very minimal population is responsible for producing food for the entire country.
But most importantly, a life without my conviniences i.e. Glee, Stargate Universe, Internet, Bars ... would break my mind.
