i am continually surprised by the reaction of some people when I suggest they may want to not eat for a day. There seems to be an irrational fear that takes over and they often respond that they could never do that. Even after explaining their energy stores and that most everyone could not eat for a week or two and not suffer any consequences, they still deny they could ever skip eating for a day. I show them the chapter on the Angus fast, and although they agree that this occurred, it still seems they fear something would happen to them if they stopped eating.
Something does happen. You get hungry. You are supposed to get hungry. If you think about it, almost everyone has gotten hungry, and for almost everyone this goes away after about an hour or two. I agree if will return, but it did go away. I can only conclude that man may have an instinct of fear of starvation. This makes a little more sense, although throughout history it has been the norm that we would occasionally not eat every day.
Modern man has food available 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Now not only can we not imagine not eating a day, we can't live without our cell phone a day.
I will try to help you out with this podcast.
