Donna Dillman hasn't eaten for a month and doesn't plan to until she hears from Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty.

As CBC reported on The National on October 23, Dillman started her hunger strike on the Thanksgiving weekend.

She's now entering her fourth week.

Dillman wants the Ontario government to put a moratorium on uranium exploration at least until it holds an inquiry into its future.

Dillman lives near Sharbot Lake Ontario about 120 kilometres west of Ottawa where a mining company, Frontenac Ventures, wants to explore for uranium in the granite of the Canada shield.

It's one of many exploration companies across Canada who are part of the boom in uranium exploration. It's been brought on by a spike in the price of uranium caused by a renewed interest in nuclear power around the world.

Dillman is camped out in a trailer equipped with a wood stove, just near the entrance to the property where Frontenac plans to explore.

She's written six registered letters to the Premier and is keeping an online blog about her hunger strike.

Dillman has been surviving on hot water, maple syrup and organic fruit juice. She's lost 15 pounds and is in good spirits.

"I'm surprised at how much energy I have. I wouldn't have predicted on day one that I'd feel this way on day 30."

Her friends are more concerned however. They are urging the public to write to the Ontario Premier demanding a moratorium on uranium exploration.

Scott Reid, the MP for the area is planning to visit Dillman on Wednesday to see how she's doing.

Dillman says people ask her if she has a death wish.

"I simply tell them I have a death willingness."

A spokesperson for the Premier's office says the premier plans to respond to Dillman's letters and urges her not to put her life or health in danger.
