Can you imaging living on tea alone for over twenty years? That's what life is like for a Vietnamese man, Phan Tuan Loc. At first he couldn't eat meat anymore, and then he stopped eating food entirely about twenty years ago. Now he lives on three cups of tea with sugar per day. His family tried to keep this a secret and he tried to stop going to social events, but eventually people noticed that Phan Tuan Loc just didn't eat, and it freaked them out (I know I would be). Even stints at hospitals couldn't figure things out. Now Mr Loc just drinks his tea and gets a protein solution transmission from a health station when he feels really weak.
I love to eat. It's one of my favorite things to do, and I certainly can not see myself living without food, especially for twenty years. Apparently there are other cases like this (at least according to the article), and I just feel sorry for them. I don't even want to think of such a possibility. I'm sure there are worse fates, but this one is still right up there.
