Jun 23, 2006 — BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Saddam Hussein ended a brief hunger strike after missing just one meal in his U.S.-run prison, a U.S. military spokesman said on Friday.
The former Iraqi leader had refused lunch on Thursday in protest at the killing of one of his lawyers by gunmen, but the spokesman said he ate his evening meal.

You know, Saddam's lack of self control in the area of food is a human frailty with which I sympathize. I can't fathom giving up food.
