Tasks / The Fast
Fast for at least 24 hours.
Begin your fast by first having a meal. Document this meal, the particulars of its flavor and components. Then begin your fast. During this time you can partake of naught but water. Don't stay away from food, that would make it easy; go out to meals with friends, cook for loved ones, but abstain from eating.
Note the use of food as a social device, and as pure necessity. Note how it affects the plans we make and the schedules we keep. Reflect on what portions of our lives are devoted to the preparation, processing and procuring of food. Document every time you were tempted to eat, and why.
In the end, break your fast with the same meal you began with. How was it different?

>During this time you can partake of naught but water.
What about other calorie-less liquids? Or is caffeine withdrawal just a part of the fast?
