There was an interview conducted
recently with a self proclaimed autotroph. In the context of
plants, an autotroph is an organism that gets its energy from the sun--basically, a producer with respect to other
organisms that eat the produce from the earth itself. However, in the context of humans, its a person that lives
without eating food or drinking water. There have been records of fasts that last hundreds of days, but this particular
women who was interviewed claimed she had not eaten or drank anything in the past four years.
She claimed her weight started out at about 90 kilos, which is now down to 74 kilos. Also, she says her lungs have adapted to getting water from the atmosphere. Besides brushing her teeth and taking showers, she gets no other water intake.
I can maybe (just maybe) believe the lack of food intake. But no water for four years? This has to be a hoax. Right?
