Living on light: woman attempts to prove humans can live without food

[FarCenter]

A Seattle woman is attempting to go 100 days without eating to prove that humans can "live on light".

Naveena Shine says she believes it is possible for human beings to survive without food and is conducting what she describes as an experiment to prove it.

The 65-year-old, originally from Birmingham in the UK, has been consuming just water and "one, maybe two cups of tea a day" for the past 41 days, losing 30lbs in the process. Other people have previously claimed to be able to survive without food and and water, although no one has ever proven it to be possible and some have died attempting it.

"It is said by scientists that all matter comes from light. All matter," she said. "It does go through all of our animals and grass all the things that grow on our planet so that we can access it. But that doesn't mean to say that we don't have a system within us already that can access it more directly."

1. At her age she is seriously going to mess up her body permanently

doing this.

Not very bright of her to try 100 days.

She will end up in ICU before this is over.

8. Woo woo!!! But what's the harm?

This here is the harm.

Did this wackaloon woman come up with this idea all by herself? Nope! Some loony toon is selling this shit and some people are ignorant enough to believe it.

If she wasn't 65 years old, she'd be on her way to a Darwin Award.

18. Shine should try telling that to all those starving people in Africa.

"she believes it is possible for human beings to survive without food and is conducting what she describes as an experiment to prove it."

What does she think humans are anyway? Plants?

19. she needs to take a biology class. Humans are not plants.
