That's hilarious.  I can hear it now: "Woe is us. . . we just wanted to radically kill Jews and other non-believers, and then while imprisoned we just wanted to purposefully refuse food that would sustain our lives.  That would show you guys!  How could they do such a cruel thing, I mean, it almost convinced me to end my hunger strike.  There was chicken, and lamb, and vegetables, I can still practically taste the kabobs even now!"
It's not like they were fasting for purposes of repentance for their terrible deeds and desires.  Next they should have some Christians go cook some nice thick sliced bacon.  Surely the unclean food won't tempt them!  Right?  

The fact that these hunger strikers were terrorists, just makes it better:

I hope you enjoy your trip!  I would love to visit Israel myself.  I have blood relatives living in Israel, and our religious views are different (muslim → mormon) . My legal name is also very obviously Arabic. As a result, I have a slightly greater reason to fear that something ridiculous/life-threatening would happen while I was there (especially since I support Israel = family no no).  So you guys have fun for me too!
Some of my family live close to the BYU Jerusalem Center so if you visit there and say hello to literally everyone you see, you might talk to them by chance.    But they will have no idea who person0 is.

Shame on you for sending me to such a place! Excuse my while I wipe the drool off my keyboard...  jhmn ,m bn szx'[;/.

There is an Arabic food store less than 1 mile from my house.    The sell Shatila brand middle eastern sweets.  I grew up on this stuff, my family would order the shipments directly from Shatila.  They make their dishes according to the native recipes (they come in boxes, no machine wrapping), and it is popular and quality enough that they ship worldwide!  Even if there are no middle eastern food stores nearby, you could buy a whole tray and have a baklava party   I would invite myself to the party but unfortunately Utah is a long way away.

Um, I'm pretty sure a pound of baklava would put you into a sugar coma for the rest of your life.   I guess I'll have to look around.  In my experience, nothing here is ever as good as where it originates - I also miss lavash (Georgian (not the US state) bread) and Austrian pretzels (the big, soft kind - haven't had a pretzel since I left there because I know they won't be as good).

Welcome, @orcnorhn! Hoşgeldiniz!  I hope we can all be of help to you as you study, seek, and prepare to receive answers from the Lord.
BTW @zil coming from a middle eastern family, I can assure you there are many international food stores where authentic imported baklava can be purchased.  In my area it usually costs about $8/lb but sometimes less if you buy large quantities.  Hope you can get some yummy baklava soon!

Again . . .what kind of drivel is this?  You guys are really putting out crap articles.
Snowflake generation . . .everyone must be the most awesome, most stupendous person ever . .. everyone will bow at your feet b/c your so awesome.  Oh, you mean I'm actually just a regular guy trying to make it in this world and that the most important things I can do are to raise a righteous family . .. boring!! Life sucks, I hate everything b/c I'm not God's gift to the world!!! 
And in order to pronounce my frustration at how I'm not God's gift to the world I'll write an article and I'll title it "I HATE my Patriarchal Blessing".  Well maybe that is your problem there-your attitude.  Maybe God decided not to give you more insight b/c of your attitude . . . . Why does everything have to be so drama filled these days?
Please, spare me the drivel. 

Not to mention how offensive it is to treat something so very sacred with such flippancy.

The brother of my wife's brother in law served in a special mission in Utah because of medical issues, nevertheless, he was able to serve.  Also, I had a companion who was a cancer survivor, he had to travel 3 hours every 3 months to get a screening from a specialist.  He was my trainer and a great man.  He has since passed away after his cancer returned, however, he was able to serve in a completely normal capacity and faithfully completed his mission.  I seriously doubt you will have an issue as long as you are serving in a country where the appropriate medical services would be available.  Even if it were an issue, your Bishop and Stake President can vouch for you to make sure you are allowed to serve.

There is nothing good in feminism.  The feminist movement, by definition, is not good.
Feminism is contributory to the societal decline of the family, and as a result the decline of righteousness in the United States.  Feminism is not about equality or justice, it is about power and control.
Women in leadership in the Church has absolutely nothing to do with feminism or the feminist movement, such a notion is completely false.  The fact that Emma Smith was an influential leader is evidence of this, as her leadership and position was inspired by God long before the feminist movement came to be.
While women are and should be able to enter the work force, this should be a well thought out and prayerful decision (in righteous counsel with their spouse if married), rather than the norm that feminism wants it to be.  There is place for women in the work force without the modern feminist movement.  Feminism is anti-women, it specifically seeks to degrade a woman's sacred role as a mother.  'By their fruits ye shall know them'.

I actually have provided an explanation of how both can be true at the same in another thread:
Here is what I said after comparing both verses:

A couple of remarks to some of the points made so far:
In the Doctrine and Covenants, Sections 28 and 54, the Lord himself spoke to Joseph by revelation and referred to Native Americans as Lamanites.  Some of the first missionaries sent out were to the Lamanites, and they were sent to the West, to Missouri.  I don't know if all Native Americans are Lamanites, but I'm assuming that the Lord knew who he was sending the missionaries to when he directed them to Missouri, unto the "borders of the Lamanites" (D&C 54:8).  People can argue over DNA science all day and never arrive at the truth.  The Lord's word is truth.  It's enough for me.
One last point--we presume wrongly that the Lamanites at the Book of Mormon's finish are the same "race" that was called Lamanites at the beginning of the book.  The narrative tells us that, after the Savior's appearance among them, they became one single people.  Ethnic and racial differences were blended (See 4 Nephi 1:17).  Intermarriage would have occurred.
When the wicked began to rebel some 200 years after the Lord's appearance, they split away and became a society defined by ethnicity and social classes once again.  The differences were more political than racial at that point, due to the mixing of the various groups.  
To say a Native American today is a pure "Lamanite" is probably inaccurate.  It's likely that Lehi's DNA is in many of them, but it would be impossible to say now who was purely Lamanite, Nephite, Jacobite, Lemuelite, etc.

How is it even possible that you are doing anything wrong in this situation?  The simple fact that you are asking this question is evidence of your sincerity and love for your students.
This family has a few choices, allow their child to eat school lunch, send the child to school with a packed lunch, or send snacks to tide the child over until  afternoon lunch/dinner at home.  The only other option is allowing the child to go hungry until dinner.  If the family is asking you to provide snacks, then they are choosing the latter option.
You have no responsibility whatsoever to spend your own money to provide food or snacks for this child.  If her family is in financial trouble, they can seek out help through other means.  This sounds like a self entitlement problem to me, and I personally would not support them in this.  If they do not find their own way to provide for their child's needs, then eventually this becomes a neglect issue and CPS would come into play.  They can go to the school principle, the board of education, etc, etc, if they feel the school lunch options are not appropriate to their child's health.
I would forward the information to the principle. I would say the Christlike thing to do in this case is to allow them to love their child enough to make sacrifices in order to provide for her in the way they are supposed to as her parents.  They are not entitled to use you to fill the gap of their incompetence.

I have a personal phrase that I use regularly regarding 'deep doctrine', so I will quote myself here:  "There is no such thing as deep doctrine.  There is true doctrine, false doctrine, and speculation."  Many times people (especially within the Church) refer to things as deep doctrine, but in reality, they are discussing speculative things.
Another related note.  I work for a company with an amazing high level employee centered culture.  It is fun, while also engaging and challenging for most employees.  Many people make long careers here even when they could make more money elsewhere because they know they would lose the cultural aspect of the job.  One of the things that our leadership always suggests is that it is impossible to teach our company culture in a meeting or elsewhere, the only way to learn is to experience it for yourself.

@Zarahemla: Give it a rest, bro. Forget about it. You got your blessing, and it set your mind at ease. So quit focusing on it. Don't think about polygamy again until at least 2027. Just stop.

We are of one heart and one mind, and I have said the exact same thing nearly word for word. What we consider deep doctrine are simple truths that are either learned line upon line.
