[quote:Resister:MV8yMzQ1MDkzXzQwMDQxNjI3X0Q5RDU4RUM0] Freaking out, killing people. and breaking into stores after only one week doesn't have anything to do with hunger, it has to do with a lack of moral fiber to behave yourself no matter what. Crime is not caused by economic realities but by immorality’s exposure to opportunity. Most Americans during the great depression didn't freak out, but then again, America use to be referred to a "Christian nation". We were more moral back then. Thanks to Obama and others like him, the public has been turned away from the whole idea of morality for morality's sake. Obama and Co. have told the sheople masses that they can't do anything on their own but deserve what other people have as a "right". John Adams responded to a question about what kind of constitution had been given to the American people with this. "The constitution was written for a moral and upright people and is wholly inadequate for the governance of any other." Taking his observance into consideration, you can expect immoral people in places that are already falling apart like Detroit and Chicago to turn into bunch of savage animals. Traditional moral Americans will simply make due with what they have for as long as they can because that is the right thing to do. [/quote]

Many people have done a one week fast (just water) and didn't die or starve to death. It is all about your mindset, attitude and discipline. Many do a week fast for health reasons.
We could then get by on one medium sized boiled potato a day after that week and survive pretty well. At least for a month or so anyway. Not all that healthy, but you would not die.
I'm not saying it's easy. In fact, it's damn hard.
But, most people cannot go one day without food and not freak out and wanting to riot and break into stores.
