Captain Jay Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I've read about this before. The idea that people can live without eating is considered such nonsense that even Wikipedia seems to be subtly poking fun at it: "It is an established fact that humans require food and water (nutrients) to survive." The kicker is how some of its proponents have bent over backwards (and then some) to justify it. They'll claim that the food in their houses is for their families, say that the air is too polluted for it to work as they become sick, and so on. They're basically con artists, except they're trying to separate others from their food instead of their money... or both, occasionally. Link to post Share on other sites

The idea of getting "busted" for something as simple as going to a restaurant (which has happened) is kind of amusing. Maybe it's the schadenfreude factor. Not to mention, it'd be harder to hide with social media and widespread cameras. (Thank my browser for knowing how to spell "schadenfreude" better than me, by the way.)

nanogretchen4 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I read a science fiction novel in which people "discovered" that humans could get all of their energy requirements from music. High levels of obesity in industrialized countries were supposedly caused by people eating on top of listening to music all the time. I think it was the third novel of a trilogy that presented this, um, surprising plot twist. Link to post Share on other sites
