I heard of that woman starving herself to death. Duh. The cynical side of my personality says, "Darwin awards anyone?" My compassionate side says, "Poor gullible soul".
Maybe I should put a note out there to potential breatharian aspirants: If you are trying to become a breatharian wouldn't it happen completely naturally? Why TRY to not eat? If you do try........ if you start losing weight and get weak....... it's obvious that you just aren't ready and forcing it kinda goes opposite to the whole idea doesn't it?
Which is more likely, that there's this magical way of eating sunlight that enables people to miraculously and inexplicably go without food, though no one with an ounce of credibility has observed this (on the contrary, when they observed one breatharian he was wasting away and was approaching death and they had to stop the experiment despite the fact that the poor fellow wanted to continue it right to his death), and despite the fact that humans have been eating food our entire 2.5 million year history, as have every one of our predecessor species back to the tyniest one-celled organism, or that humans need food and naturally lose weight and get weak when we don't eat?
How could someone TRAIN to be a breatharian or have it as a goal? I used to read of raw vegans making breatharianism as a goal in 6 months or the like - how silly! That just makes no sense at all.
Agree with you there. Breatharianism is the wackiest diet fad I've ever heard of. When I first read about it, I thought it was a joke. If Breatharianism is not wacky, then nothing is and anything goes.
I can't say that no person has ever been a breatharian
I can and will, because it might save someone's life. I know you mean well, but breatharianism is by definition dangerous, and if practiced correctly, guaranteed to eventually produce death, as that poor woman found out. It's the only diet I know of that when practiced correctly assures death.
I don't know - but to starve yourself because you are trying to become one - just don't do that ok?
Yeah, why not meditate, chant, commune with nature, smoke ganja, partake of sacred mushrooms, or drink mead rather than starve oneself? What's wrong with those more ancient forms of "becoming one"?
Good to put out the warnings right Phil?
Yuppers.
Phil, you don't know happy I am to see you post Phil! Like a breath of fresh air.
Or the foul smell of rotting flesh, which I actually happen to like at this point, oddly enough (yum, high meat!), not sure which.
Thanks Dorothy, m'love!
On that note - it's getting close to my time to watch the sunset with my kitties and I have things to get done before that so ...... toodleloo!
Heh, heh. As a male, I'm not supposed to like kitty cats, but I do. Since I was a boy I learned to mew like they do and they purr and rub against mi ankles, except for one devil cat I encountered.
Cats are carnivores--killing machines--and they love their freedom and independence, so why shouldn't males like them, I wonder?
I knew a crazy vegetarian who had two cats. You could smell the meat, liver and fish of their cat food throughout much of the house, but if any human cooked meat and he smelled it he went berserk. Quite an odd contradiction. It was one of the clues that helped me realize that there was something amiss with vegetarianism.
