Anyway, I came across this picture of Tinna Dockerty. I have had some interaction with Tinna 'the community activist' through my role at work but that is not why I am writing this post.
Tinna really believes in her community (Redwood) and is a real advocate. I also have personal connections to Redwood and know people in the photos. However, that is not why I am posting this....read on.
As you can see Tinna is really putting herself out there for this cause, again, admirable. Keith asked Tinna some questions about her hunger strike - I quote
KL: So, how long have you been on a hunger strike for
TD: 6 days
KL: So, are you eating anything at all?
TD: All I am having is vegetables and fruit juiced in a juicer and I am drinking that three or four times a day and I am taking extra vitamins, glucose drinks and energy drinks.
Well, this brings a lot of questions to my mind- a few of them are...
1. When is a hunger strike not a hunger strike? This might read like a diet to some people...although energy drinks are just nasty cans of chemicals and should not be considered food in anyones language.
2. Who decides what a 'hunger strike' actually is and is there a manual?
3. Energy drinks and hunger strike - not sure they should be used in the same sentence
I don't want to appear mean so I will stop now and let you ponder these thoughts. I think I might have a different interpretation of what a hunger strike might be. Perhaps I am a little harsh in this and I know I have little experience in food deprivation so am not really in a position to make any judgement. Interesting though isn't it?

Pleeeese, there has to be room for a little bit more mean...too funny! I'm hosting book club this month and yep as a working woman it feels a bit of a bind until everyone arrives, the first cork pops and we all talk simultaneously for the first hour and a half before even mentioning a book.
Have a great week, x
Trust me, I have been milking this all weekend but dont want to commit anything to paper so to speak. It is a bit too close to home for me to REALLY have a go. But is hilarious isnt it? Enjoy book group - sounds identical to ours.Great fun.
Well I'm a long way away, looks like a hunger strike would do her good! LOL, love the post!
