➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

I really was liking the class until her announcement.
Today is day 5 for her. She says she is doing well today but yesterday was tough.:th

I don't understand this... At all.
Wait. So, she's still being active and not eating anything??? Like, she's teaching a yoga class and not eating????
 
It is called fasting. Gandhi used to fast and called them hunger strikes.

" Gandhi, popularly known as Mahatma Gandhi or The Father of the Nation in India, undertook 17 fasts during India's freedom movement. His longest fasts lasted 21 days. Fasting was a weapon used by Gandhi as part of his philosophy of Ahimsa (non-violence) as well as satyagraha."
I'm not sure I will ever understand why.

No...she left her family and locked herself in a hotel room for 7 days. Zero food. Only water.

Fasting, starving. Same difference, other than that one is self inflicted.

I mean, I guess whatever floats your boat. I've only seen scientific data for studies with a three day fast as being a way to reset your metabolism and effectively shrinking your stomach. I still wouldn't willingly do it. I'd rather just eat salad for a week.

The way I remember it was that he was arrested and being too important, they couldn't just kill him without an uproar. His fasts drew world wide attention with other nations demanding that he be released and that his demands be met. He caused reforms in the Indian government.

It's weird to me. If I can try to understand the why then I might be able to continue the class. It's not looking too good though. All I'm getting is a nutty signal.
