Is it okay to eat in front of a Muslim person during their fast?
"Yes! Many Muslims have been fasting for several years if not decades at this point. The sight of you eating food will not cause us to lose control and devour everything in sight."

What do you do during a fast?
"Ramadan is sort of like a store's reward points. Any good deed you do during this time is multiplied tenfold. We aren’t ones to pass up on such a good deal, Muslims try to do as much worship and good deeds as possible." thestar.com/opinion/contri…

What if you’re really old? Or a young child?
"Fasting is obligatory for every Muslim who has reached puberty (which excludes young children) but there are exceptions for people who are ill, elderly, pregnant or menstruating."
