Ep 176 — Mormon fasting vs other religions | South Park

Fasting! In all its forms and purposes. We take a wander through world religions to see how fasting plays a part in almost all of them. Mormon fasting is far less peculiar than we thought. Then a few episodes of South Park that provide wonderful commentary on fasting, the economy, and witch hunts. We round out with happy news about land being returned to Indigenous people and burn through listener mail that's been piling up.  Show notes:    Fasting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting  Fasting: https://www.britannica.com/topic/fasting  Religious Fasting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_fasting  Fasting in Islam: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting_in_Islam  Ramadan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramadan  Native Teachings are about a way of life: https://mushkiki.com/programs-services/fasting/   Fasting in Jainism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting_in_Jainism   With Lent almost over, here's why religions fast: https://www.cnn.com/2017/04/07/world/religious-fasting-traditions-finding-jesus/index.html  Fasting in African Spirituality: https://asanee44.com/fasting-in-african-spirituality/  Sam Young: https://protecteverychild.com/  Hunger strikes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_strike  Nonviolent resistance:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolent_resistance  Civil disobedience: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_disobedience  Violet Bland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violet_Bland  Emmeline Pankhurst: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmeline_Pankhurst  The Pankhurst Sisters: How suffragettes changed the world: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax2wGWNco0k  Prisoners (Temporary Discharge for Ill-Health) Act 1913: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoners_(Temporary_Discharge_for_Ill-Health)_Act_1913  Intermittent Fasting: Fad or valid weight-loss solution: https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/speaking-of-health/intermittent-fasting-fad-or-solution   The Effects of Fasting on Drug Metabolism https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17425255.2020.1706728#d1e326 MOGP:  South Park  Spontaneous Combustion S3E2 Margaritaville S13E3 Sons of Witches S21E6   Happy News:  https://apnews.com/article/potawatomi-illinois-treaty-reservation-805f5030d9abbac93ce3da3cec18a636   Other appearances: Chris Shelton interviewed us in the beginning of a series on Mormonism.
