Paragraphe tiré de la référence
More than a week ago, Beau Revlett and his partner shared a plantain, one final meal before a hunger strike to pressure President Eli Capilouto of the University of Kentucky. They were demanding that he create a basic-needs center on campus to help hungry students.
Some 300 students at Kentucky have since limited their diet in some way, but Revlett was one of about a half dozen who swore off food until the demands were met. They included creating not only the center, but also a donor-supported fund to help students find food and housing, and an employee to oversee the one-stop shop.
After going several days without food, Revlett felt lethargic and had difficulty paying attention. Even more intimate parts of his life suffered. "It's definitely thrown a wrench into our love life," said Revlett, a senior philosophy major whose partner was also striking. "We're very irritable and taking it out on each other."
