And I thought the Fruitist was crazy

Today I was discussing the fruitist with my friend Bree (because in my search for health I find myself talking about the good, the bad, and especially the crazy, as often as possible). She told me that she recently met a Breatharian....yep. Apparently Breatharians believe that food is unnecessary and that with proper adjustment we can get back to our roots and live only on AIR and the nutrients within it. The fruitist is literally bingeing compared to these guys. I am honestly not sure if anyone is actually living the nutritional lifestyle that they are promoting...I have done a little reading about Breatharianism since I'm fascinated and truthfully I have found only quite a lot to prove that no one is actually living this way (well not living this way for very long...because then they are dead). 60 minutes did a story on Jasmuheen who is one of the most well known Breatharians (and lives on the claim that she eats only small amounts every few months other than tea) and they found that she was suffering from dehydration and kidney issues only a week or so into filming the story. Who knows what's real, but it is fascinating to read and learn about the views that other people (...crazy people) have on healthy lifestyle & nutrition....personally I'm pretty sure that they are secretly eating snacks in the closet.
