The nazis experimented along these lines back in the forties. It seems lots of people kept without adequate food simply could not survive on sunlight and water.

With luck she will croak within 3 weeks!!!!

Darwin Award nominee..

From the article: "British-born Naveena Shine, 65..."

She's way, way out of the running.

If humans did not have to eat, we could turn our planet back into a place of beauty.

If it rained shiny bright freshly minted silver dollars every afternoon, we'd all be rich, too.

Interesting how the most obvious escapes her. Went hiking here in my state last week, beautiful scenery, then ate a pizza last night.

[wita]

Seems so obvious doesn’t it.

I saw a video of a British breath-arian. She talks about the importance of breathing, light, etc. She also admits to cheating once in a while, due to old habits, when filmed eating a slice of cake.

I wonder how she accounts for the vast number of living creatures that starve to death with plenty of water and sunlight at their disposal.

Even plants require more than sunlight and water.

[SampleMan]

She needs to leave her high rises and travel. The planet is still beautiful.

And every form of life upon it is drawing nutrients from the environment about it, as has always been the case.

How can anyone this stupid have lived this long to begin with?

If all plants required was sunlight and water, then plants would be made completely out of water. If she wanted to be a plant, then she should also eat dirt, and manure.

"maybe he's a breatharian"

[Nervous Tick]

>> Plants survive on light and water alone, so why can’t humans?

Heck, cars don’t even need light and water... just give ‘em a petroleum enema every so often and they’re happy.

Maybe she should try that...

[Nervous Tick]

>> Obscure Yogis called “breatharians” have also attempted the practice

There’s a reason why they’re obscure.

[John123]

...to discover whether she could subsist on water, sunlight and tea

Don't forget to rotate every couple of days...

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I’m a “breatharian,” too. No matter how hard I try, my diaphragm keeps pumping air in and out of my lungs.

[Damifino]

...and is documenting it on Facebook and YouTube.<\i> Well, she IS using proper modern scientific methodology.

[Moltke]

Survive on sunlight in Seattle?

She’s dead.

[hal ogen]

Hey, lady...people aren’t plants. Go get a remedial education in biology (if you are still living). What a complete pinhead. This brings to relevance the attorney during the clintoon scandals who stated “I’m not a potted plant!”

[PistolPaknMama]

Sounds like a good way to weed out some of the kooks.

[william clark]

Nice that she’s so enamored of plants. She’ll be feeding them soon.
