There was a time in college when I went for 2 days on a liquid diet. Nothing good came from that, but it sure was fun at the time.
I actually did participate in a fast in college. The week before Thanksgiving the RA in our dorm set it up to raise awareness about hunger. There was a certain smugness coming from the group that I noticed and do not like. I prefer volunteering and charitable giving to phony help through osmosis.
