A “hunger strike” is taking place among a few dozen graduate students at Yale:
A group of Yale University graduate students announced Tuesday evening that they would be undertaking a hunger strike to pressure the administration into granting them better union benefits. The strike is taking place in front of University President Peter Salovey’s home.
There’s been one reported addendum to this particular “hunger strike”:

Update: the Yale grad student union is holding a *symbolic* hunger strike (they eat when hungry) Still inspirational https://t.co/vWIHUjiHrF pic.twitter.com/oGdSbn752h

So, just a “strike” then? Color Jake Tapper unimpressed:
@blakehounshell I eat when im hungry too but I don't call it a hunger strike

“Sacrifice” takes on strange forms sometimes.
@jaketapper @blakehounshell honestly i often eat when I'm not hungry so I can appreciate their sacrifice

@MikeGrunwald @blakehounshell Thank you for your sacrifice for us all
