Harvard students manage to complete a session of intermittent fasting for a cause

Thirty Harvard students went on a twelve hour hunger strike to try to convince the university to divest from Israel.  In the fitness world, this is called intermittent fasting.

Because nothing says commitment to a cause like skipping lunch and dinner.

Not the Bee (link immediately above) gathered up some of the X responses for your enjoyment.

The Harvard students’ commitment to their cause is truly mind blowing… (..ly stupid)….

Just when you think you’ve seen the limit of stupid, something new comes along.
