Fast Completed
My 30-hour fast is up. 24 hours didn't make me feel the pain I felt back in my high school years were we were sometimes forced to fast during spiritual emphasis month and starved as a result of shortages. I decided to add some more hours so my belly can shrink and I desire to eat. After this post, it wont take me 20 seconds to put a spoon in my mouth. Its amazing when I read about people feeling the pain of starvation of this forum. Through out today, I asked myself this question, If world leaders could try this assignment, certain policies ( structural adjustment programs) won't be implemented on poorer countries to control their agricultural production. True, African countries are poor, why not make them rich by just allowing them eat?. People go through this everyday in countries and that's the reason why " Fat/Obese" people are regarded as "FRESH" in my country.. Size is considered wealth ( eating more because you can afford quantity). I think Food is a human right and everyone ought to have a meal. Politics in this context can only be fare if it has limits.
