Slurping steak through a straw

This is day 15 of a hunger strike and I don't know why coffee isn't allowed. Well, actually coffee is allowed on some hunger strikes. Dick Gregory, a very famous American hunger striker, once told me that on a liquid hunger fast (not a water only fast) you can drink anything you can poke in a blinder.

 I suppose if you could cram a steak down the blender and you could slurp a steak through a straw. He also told me to be sure and change my clothes everyday because a faster's body is sweating toxins and my clothes were full of toxins.  Sorry, Dick, but I'm wearing three day toxic jeans.

My strike is water only. I like keeping it real real simple because my mind gets foggy and I'm liable to forget what I'm eating. I might forget and eat some cheese enchiladas! So water is water is water. As far as the fast is going, I'm doing fine and dandy, but my voice getting a little hoarse, mouth gets dry as heck, and energy is less and less each day. I was offered a little sight seeing tour around Berlin but I didn't want to have to walk so I turned it down.I'm in Berlin and tomorrow I travel to Copenhagen to wait on the climate talks. I'm enclosing a picture of me delivering Ethecon's Black Planet Award to Monsanto in 2006. But last night I delivered the Black Planet Award to Formosa Plastics. So see how much Monsanto and Formosa Plastic have in common! They're both destroying the planet.
