Hey RMC,
Another exemplary story of the WWII conscientious objectors! Do any of us have
relatives who participated in the Minnesota Starvation Experiment?
Be Peace,

The Starvation Project
During World War II, Henry Shollberg, and 35 others, agreed to starve for six
months as part of the Minnesota Starvation Experiment. It was an avenue for
conscientious objectors to serve, but not engage in battle. The experiment
lasted a year: 12 weeks of prep time; 24 weeks of near-death starvation; and
another 12 weeks to bulk them back up. Their experience has been captured in an
American Radio Works documentary called, "Beyond Belief." We'll talk to
reporter and host Stephen Smith about this bizarre ordeal with starvation.
