It wasn’t really that big of a deal; all she had to do was not eat. Shelley was at a 30 Hour Famine, where first-world teenagers go without food to acquaint themselves with third-world hunger. Everyone got only water and real fruit popsicles. The event concluded with a famine supper, where guests were served one cup of cooked rice by the hungry participants. This is what some in the world eat for a whole day. After it was over, everyone went to McDonald’s to pig out. But not Shelley. She walked home and cooked herself a bowl of white rice.
