I've seen and read some breatharian stuff before and IMO it isn't something that is natural for a human to do.
Yes we will debate on end what "kind" of food is ideal for human consumption and what "kind" of drink or water but I think we can all agree that the human body requires calories in the edible form of carbohydrates fats and protein.
It's highly unlikely that the body can use elements from the air to create sustainance this way, even the breatharians admit to their indulgences "biscuits and tea" is what I recall one of them eating. Why not a fresh lovely mango? Or a banana?
If the human body was meant to thrive without any kind of food or drink, why would human mothers produce breast milk for their children? And why do babies fail to thrive when they don't get their mother's (or equivelant) milk?
Yes, one can go with little food or fast for long periods of time, but they are subsisting on their own body reserves and sooner or later those reserves will run dangerously low, hence their little indulgences here and there. Their brains are telling them to replenish their supply.
That's my opinion on it. I haven't read all the responses - especially yours Green Bunny, they are too long for me!!! So this is not directed at anyone in particular, just addressing the subject matter.
