I have fasted for a week before,only drank water,in truth it wasnt that difficult..i did it for meditation purposes,and it helped..
I did have an idea once that wouldnt it be great if everyone would not eat meat or kill anything for one day a year,just to see if people would look at things differently,but i doubt it would happen..
I doubt that not eating for a day would make people think,although its a nice sentiment..

It's believed that many Americans eat at least twice as much as is needed and/or healthy. Given that, after reading your post I did a quickie research and there is no one "right" answer about how long a person can go without food, but it is generalized as about three weeks tops. Water is a different story, and of course, it depends on geographical factors. For instance, if you were stranded in the desert, you'd need water more frequently, because of the constant loss through perspiration. There are several stories about WWII survivors who lived without food or water for several months--(I can't recall exactly how long, but it beat the odds, as it were...)

Yes food is plentiful..if you can afford it... Having been in a position of not being able to afford much I have in the past gone without food many times in order that my children would have enough. That is one of the reasons I support food banks here in my city..It is not only in third world countries that people do not have enough food.

We have the same sort of thing in the UK.There are places people can go to get supplies of food in big cities,if they are unable to feed themselves.They are usually run by Charities.

There but for the grace of God go all of us. handshake

Humans are supposed to be at the top of the food chain but in many animal species the birthrate is pegged to the available food supply. Whenever there is an abundance of food a species population will rise to exploit it. When the supply dwindles they breed less. Humans on the other hand don't have this skill or instinct. This is why you have people in sub-Saharan Africa etc. continually having babies even though they are living in an extreme drought and famine with no relief in sight. It seems the height of cruelty to bring a child into the world only to sit by helpless as the child dies of starvation with a bloated belly and flies crawling all over it.
This is what happens when religion and cultural dogma trumps nature.

No.
So the natives are starving in Africa. They should have thought of that before they drove out or murdered the white farmers in places such as Rhodesia and South Africa.
Tell someone who gives a fig.
Famine is part of the natural cycle of population control.
Feed two starving Africans today and in a few years there will be three, then four, then five, etc, etc.
Not my problem. Not interested. I will keep my resources for the benefit of my own children.

No, I love eating, and I am thankful for being blessed to live in a country with so much good food. I love meat too.

I know people are starving, but me not being fat is not going to get them food.

WASTING food on the other hand is something that should be addressed. Supermarkets throw out tonnes every month, outdated food that is still good, hamburger and chicken chains do not allow their employees to eat leftover food. I remember tonnes of bananas getting thrown in the ocean a few years ago for some reason, that would have fed many. Western countries have MORE food than is consumed, couldn't that be shipped to starving countries?

And before White man's invasion of africa and subsequent SLAUGHTER of animals for trophys, the natives used to hunt their food.
Now it is illegal to hunt the beasts of Africa, and even to live on their own land, have access to rivers and water supply.

Europeans have displaced practically every indigenous race of humans on this planet, and caused some to become extinct, and yet in 2012 still the white supremacists live on. Hardly surprising in Australia, where the Aboriginal people were still classed as flora and fauna until 1974, and allowed to be shot on sight, as sport.


How touching.

Another bleeding-heart self-hating white social liberal who has no freaking idea what she is talking about.
The last permit to shoot blacks as they were called (cost one shilling) was issued at the police station in the city of Townsville, Queensland, during 1925.
Permits to shoot blacks were issued for the good reason that isolated rural homesteads were subject to attack by roving bands of Aborigines. Whites had to defend themselves.
In 1967 there was a national referendum to give full citizenship to Aborigines.
See:
Since the election of the Fabian Marxist government led by Gough Whitlam in 1972 there has been discrimination against white Australians in favour of Aborigines, who have been living on a gravy train of welfare handouts and preferential treatment by all branches of government.
While probably intended to assist them, this river of gold from the idiot social liberals has destroyed the Aboriginal people and resulted in untolled misery and death.
They have lost their sense of identity, their self respect, have become drunks and drug addicts and have lost the worth ethic that Aboriginal stockmen and other Aboriginal rural workers were once famous for.
The true genodice of the Aboriginal people began when the bleeding-heart social liberals began the handouts.
This has also created enormous resentment among the non-Aboriginal population who see billions of their tax dollars being pissed away in welfare payments that are spent on alcohol, sundry drugs, glue and petrol and things such as free welfare housing that is trashed.

Even in countries where there is plenty of food people are suffering not enough money to live on and in the large cities where they have such high rates for rent and mortgages its just crazy. If only the governments would spend money on the people rather than warfare what a difference it would make. Unfortunatley the world is made up of imperfect,greedy selfish people. I once fasted for three weeks nearly killed me but got through it can't even imagine what it must be like not having water and food for your family. Thank god Ilive in the land of milk and honey but things are getting tough here know as well.
