Whats it all about?
Starvation Diet is an art/life project started by artist Beth Barlow in October 2009. This next generation blog is contributed to by other people who have joined in with the project as it has gone along, choosing to resist foods they don't really need and give the money to others who are in more need.

stale bread
Neil (hubby) made me breakfast this morning of sourdough bread toast and butter, but i had to refuse it not because of the starvation diet but because I had just taken my medication and leave for the long drive to work. At work I have my breakfast of banana and a yogurt. I'm still struggling with the fruit and luxury thing , normally I would be proud of my healthy eating today I'm a little sadden as the pleasure i get from eating food is slowly slipping away through my questioning my food choices. I have a busy morning and forget all about food until lunch, this was a huge disappointment as I had my been looking forward to my tuna fish sandwich and banana ( and yes I have a weird habit of eating them together) I take my first bite and the bread is stale, and has taken on that slightly must flavour. I debate chucking it in the bin but think about people i have seen going into bins and eating what they find, and I don't mean bin hoppers or the chefs that did a programme about it the other week. I'm talking about people who eat food that has been half consumed and thrown away in a bin at the side of the road. I decide to perceive with the sandwich, normally i wouldn't bin it. 3pm i feel the urge for chocolate and nearly give in to it , it soon passes and I have saved my soul again for the evils of chocolate. I'm not sure how long this will last , but my new tactic will be to think about or read a bit about child slave labour and cocoa production.
