  1. this isn’t really a hunger strike if they are drinking energy drink, fruit & veggie juices.

  2. I think fruit and veggie juices are acceptable.

  3. Has there been any response at all from the administration about those on hunger strikes?

  5. uh, not quite. What they are doing is more like going on a diet. look at this

    if they want to go on true hunger strike, tell them to be careful because it can lead to long-term health problems such as liver failure or blindness as mentioned here which isn’t worth for what they want to gain out of this.

  7. I hope they all go on a hunger strike - a real one as described in the above slate article - then the situation will be over and we can move on with our lives within a month!
