Are hunger strikes really all that effective?

Asked by Nullo (22009points) February 13th, 2010

I was reading about the activist group called Code Pink, and how they have gone on hunger strikes to oppose the use of UAVs. Obviously the strikes were ineffective, but it makes one wonder: does anybody actually care if a bunch of discontented people threaten such a mild form of self-harm? Did Code Pink really expect success?
