I don't know a single Protestant who fasts.

I didn’t say all priest are bad, just that it’s accepted fact that it happens world wide in Catholicisms

No giving up here! How about just being a better person all around! Have to start somewhere. Maybe others will see it and do the same.

To be fair - some Lutherans, Anglicans and Methodists do

Nobody cares what anyone is giving up. The whole point is to do it for yourself. Not for clout to brag to others about how good of a Christian you are

I'm not a Democrat either, but what does that have to do with Lent?

I'm not Catholic but I work with a ton of people who are. The 70 year old receptionist about had a heart attack when I was eating a hamburger on a Friday. I had to explain to her that I wasn't Catholic and didn't follow that.

Many of us do. I know of non-denominational churches that do a 21 day fast. It may be everything except liquids or it may be just certain things.
Could be your own private fast.
