Plants survive on light and water alone, so why can’t humans?
A Seattle woman is putting that question to the test in an “experiment” some find inspiring—though others see it as misguided and dangerous. British-born Naveena Shine, 65, stopped eating on May 3 in to discover whether she could subsist on water, sunlight and tea, and is documenting her efforts on Facebook and YouTube.
The extreme fast, which she says she intends to try for “at least 40 days” and perhaps four to six months, is apparently tied to Shine’s New Age beliefs about the universe. Obscure Yogis called “breatharians” have also attempted the practice, she told Seattle’s Fox affiliate, KCPQ. …
“A vast amount of time, effort and resources go into merely putting food on the table. If humans did not have to eat, we could turn our planet back into a place of beauty.” … (S)he also makes note on Facebook of unpleasant-sounding side effects such as weakness, throwing up bile, dizziness, and frozen hands. …

Darwin Award nominee..
Nature has a way of weeding out stupid people.
You can survive for about six weeks without any food...as long as you keep sipping water. If you just added apple juice or a milkshake twice a day....you might make it for twelve weeks. In this case, she’s awful foolish, and proving nothing.

Ms. Shine is far past the age of breeding, so she does not qualify for the Darwin Award.
Gee....I kinda wish that trend would spread among all liberals.
Umm...the answer is NO, you cant survive on just water and sunlight. Not for very long anyway.
Maybe Monsanto should study her....
The west coast is full of stupid people. I think it is where the children of the North East go to live.
Clearly, she’s been eating plenty.
Of NUTS.
“we could turn our planet back into a place of beauty.”
She needs to leave her high rises and travel. The planet is still beautiful.
Delusional!
Say a prayer for her.
What an idiot.
Culling the herd.
Seems to me that one only needs to look at Ethiopia and other areas of Africa to see how well humans live on a diet of water and sunlight.
Very clever.
I am so stealing your picture of the loon! LOL!!!!
