WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO ?

You know, that is a wonderful thing to do!  So many people out there are starving, while we sit at home in our warm houses and eat near-limitless amounts of food.  \n\nThis year, I'm going to bake a bunch of pies and breads, and give them all to a homeless shelter in Minneapolis!  \n\nThank you for the inspiration to do something good for others!!!

No! as soon as you go on a diet all you can think about is food and eating! You have to realise that you eat to live and dont live to eat and then you have to find the worthwhile things in your life that make your days special and enjoy. One day you will find that  dieting is an unnecessary evil

YES! SOUNDS LIKE AN EXCELLENT PLAN TO ME! GO FOR IT!

Query - have any of you read the book, or looked at the plan? It's clever, not perfect but at least it's something more than Sally Struthers standing there teary-eyed and saying "think of the children!"\n\nI'm inclined to think this plan is worth a shot. Yes, it'd be nice if Bono and Jolie would put their money where their mouths are, but it seems a far better use of tax dollars spent on foreign aid to render it through programs that actually do something rather than funnel it through dubious government entities that allow a great deal of siphoning off the top by corrupt leaders.\n\nOr we could just allow Malthusian processes to take care of it through war, famine and pestilence. Not that these don't impact us. Famine drives up the prices of crops. Pestilence, well, we now have HIV which may have been caught and contained far sooner if there was a public health infrastructure in place, and hemorrhagic fevers native to many of these regions are the stuff of nightmares. Then there's war, but I don't think I need to remind you how many situations the military has gotten into after the humanitarian portion of the mission collapsed. I think it's simply cheaper in the long-run to try to ameliorate poverty rather than deal with it's aftermath, but it's as much your tax money as it is mine, so we'll see the exit polls.

I don't know. But, if I had been in the British government's position, and some guy threatened to starve himself, I would have said, "Go ahead, starve yourself".\nI know, it sounds cold, but think about that for a moment.

The real question is why would you want to?  Are you into tearing yourself apart?

i like eating. I would eat all my favorite foods. Pizza, pasta, ice cream...yeah woohoo gluttony.:-P\nI would probably do something really meaningful to me if I had already said my goodbyes, like go volunteer somewhere my last night.

Wow that's a big responsibilty, i don't think i would like to be in that position but this is what i would do, i would of course make sure that me and my whole family are taken care of, make sure all the kids in the world won't have to want for anything(food, shelter, etc.)make sure that people around the world would never have to go without food, medicine and things like that and basically help those who want to do something in with their lives start a business or go to school.I'm sure there's alot that i didn't put in because i really wouldn't know what to do until i'm in that situation(of course it will never happen...lol)

I think hunger is just as much a mental thing as it is emotional and physical. I believe that you are doing all to keep your physical self from being hungry, it's the emotional you that is hungry. Try a new hobby or something to keep your mind busy. And, keep telling yourself that you are working for a better you, all the way around.\nBest of luck to you
