How to Get Fat on a Hunger Strike
Unfortunately, Cindy Sheehan's "hunger strike" isn't going to be taking much off this muffin top:
Cindy Sheehan Watch points the way to a first-hand account of what Mother Moonbat has had to endure during her pathetic excuse for a hunger strike, appropriately enough from a site subtitled "Marxist Thought Online":
I find traveling out of the country very challenging being on a fast. When I was on a layover in Madrid on my way to Venice, Italy yesterday, the closest thing I could find to a smoothie to get a little protein was a coffee with vanilla ice cream in it. Traveling for 22 hours is very taxing under normal circumstances — but then again, when have we had normal circumstances since the 2000 and 2004 successful coup attempts that have brought BushCo into power?
I traveled from Venice to the frontier of Italy to the province of Udine which is right at the foot of the pre-Alps. I am here for a huge youth festival which includes many elements of social justice and peace work. It is beautiful and the air feels different from other places that I have travelled. It is strangely soft and gentle as is the natural light. However, there is not a Jamba Juice on every corner, so blended juice drinks with protein powder are impossible to find.
It's tough for a poor hunger-striker to stay slim on a "fast" fueled by Jamba Juice's offerings. A 30-oz. Mighty Cherry Charger, for example, will load you up with 660 calories (H/T: Knowledge is Power).
While Sheehan pigs out on ice cream and smoothies, Guillermo Fariñas continues to starve himself to death in protest of the suppression of free speech by Fidel Castro, darling of Cindy's Hollywood supporters. Courage isn't always as appetizing as a Mighty Cherry Charger from Jamba Juice. Here's what it looks like:

"pre-Alps?" I was unaware that there are such things. Is Pikes Pike part of the "pre-Rockies?"

How is it a hunger strike if you're still eating? It's not even a "fast" if you are drinking smoothies. At least, if she were going by the rules of the Catholic Church for days of fast and abstinence, a 660-calorie smoothie or even a cup of joe with vanilla ice cream would not make the cut.
You are supposed to be hungry. That's the whole darn point. Kind of like Guillermo. Kind of like those guys in Paraguay, I think it was, who sewed their lips together when they went on hunger strike. I don't think they drank smoothies. Not even through a straw.
