David Blaine has successfully completed his 44 days incarcerated in a perspex box without eating and I suppose I'm pleased for him.
Am I alone, though, in finding something distasteful (no pun intended) in this whole stunt? I've never gone without food even for a day, save only when I've been ill, but there are plenty of people in the world who aren't so lucky and this seems, to me, to belittle them.
