I would not be able to see my children go a week without food before resorting to extreme measures. [/quote] Kids are tougher than you give them credit. This is your hang-up, not theirs. If there is a little food, then you give it to the kids. Duh. What is the alternative? Go out breaking into stores and then they have no dad at all.... [/quote] Adults could definitely go without food for the kids. Well, most loving adults could. [/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.
