Hello Everyone!
At the time of this writing more than 4000 people across the US have joined in solidarity in a hunger strike inspired by World Food Prize laureate David Beckmann, who presides over Bread for the World, to boycott the GOP's devastating budget cuts to programs that assist the poor and the hungry while at the same time increasing defense spending. I believe the numbers joining in on this monumental event will be fast growing (no pun intended!) The fasting populace are particularly targeting cuts to food stamps, WIC and aid to the international poor and farmers. NY Times food columnist Mark Bittman (who's joined in the movement) says, these supposedly deficit-reducing cuts will barely make a dent, Bittman writes, 'they will quite literally cause more people to starve to death, go to bed hungry or live more miserably than are doing so now. And: The bill would increase defense spending.'
Watch the full episode.
I have lots of experience with fasting. I've typically done extended fasts - for 10 days or more - at least twice a year, and I often fast at least one day a week. So I know the experience of fasting need not be debilitating and exhausting but can actually be not only invigorating, cleansing, but centering and clarifying to the mind and opening to the heart - if done correctly.
Here is a brief but comprehensive guide to fasting that I wrote in my book, Soul-Full Eating: A (Delicious!) Path to Higher Consciousness, my gift to you.

PS - I'm just finishing up writing a very comprehensive and inspiring Mind, Body, Spirit Cleanse book. Be sure to add your name to my email list to be notified about it's release later on this month.
