I work with a Muslim man. Last year we had to travel during Ramadan, and since we were sharing a car, I didn't bring along my usual snacks to eat during the drive. Once we got to our hotel, I offered to drop him off before I went to get lunch. Turns out he is not as orthodox as some, and he believes those on travel have a slight exemption. He drank water and kept me company while I ate. I can't imagine doing that. I'm currently being fed intravenously, and not allowed to eat -- it's driving me bananas. Every time I see a commercial, smell food, or think of eating, my stomach starts rumbling.
