Actress and UN Goodwill Ambassador, Mia Farrow, who's 64-years-old, is taking a step like no other she's ever taken and is going to go on a starvation diet/ hunger strike starting Monday April 27th! And she's not kidding!
Mia Farrow Hunger Strike for Darfur!
Mia Farrow will go on a hunger strike in support of the million people dying of starvation in the war-ravaged Darfur region in Sudan.
She feels this step will draw attention to their strife and hopes the US government will make Darfur a priority in order to help those unfortunate people and bring back the humanitarians and 13 aid agencies who have been kicked out of there last month!
Mia says, that as much as we adore President Obama, he's been slow in appointing an envoy to Darfur.
Starting Monday, Mia will live only on water! She'll try to hold her fast for about three weeks.
I salute Mia and think she's very courageous to be taking such a step.
Kudos! and take care!

Based on Mia's current weight of 42 lbs., my calculations indicate that she will last approximately four hours before she falls into a coma and dies.
No, No, No. This is not a lecture, but a recompense for your not knowing the right thing to do. You are not in a position to give your life for this country that you seem to think is your responsibility to alleviate from the inhuminty that has been bestowed upon them by other forces. I have always been a devoted fan of yours, and I would not like to see harm come to you because of the ongoing holocaust to these people. There has to be other ways beside failing human food denial. Mary Baker Eddy, of the Christian Science Movement, stated that fasting is not the way to obliviate human suffering. The Christian Science Church is not only a willing Movement to alleviate human suffering, but is ready to standby in any human's desire to alleviate suffering. Sinfulless in the world today is often the cause for suffering, and it needs to be addressed when facing issues that you are in the middle of this day.
You are absolutely absurd to do this.
