Living without food
So apparently a woman is trying to live without food, drinking only water and apparently taking in sunlight. I don't think this woman has studied biology, pretty sure nutrients are necessary for cellular reproduction, without which we will die. Do you think this woman is nuts? and will she die, I'm gonna say probably.

breatharianism is one of those conveniently self-limiting phenomena. No, you are not a plant. You do not have photosynthetic capacity and you will die without food.

Your link disproves your comment. The fat guy ate the food he lived on for that year, prior to that year. He didnt go without food, he went without *eating* as he had the food already onboard. Plus he was under careful professional medical supervision. Unlike anyone who ever decided to become a breatharian.
