    There's a documentary about this called "Eat the Sun". Dude tried it. Burned his retinas. Still, look for sunlight in the MFP database. Some fool will add it I promise.

    It's in there...

    Sunlight - Rays From Sun

    I have no idea how it got there though???

    We would just get our nutrition from sunlight. We would also be much stronger I think.

    I was just going to ask how to log this.:laugh:


    I'm in Seattle, no sun all day so far. Does this count as a "fasting" day?

    maybe someone was logging vitamin D....? Or maybe someone thinks they're a plant (if it lists anything other than vitamin D levels in the info section, then its more likely to be the latter)


    as for the crazy diet.... 600 million years of animal evolution and no animal evolved the ability to photosynthesise.... so maybe she wants to reverse that trend.

    There is apparently one animal that can, but I just pulled this off of google so no clue if it's been verified or disproved in the last 3 years.

    Check out "Breatharians" sometime. The idea is that God (or in the east, Prana) will sustain you without food or water if you're devout enough. People have died trying to follow it, but the leaders just say they weren't pious enough. All of the leaders have been caught eating food, including one who was seen leaving a 7-11 with a slurpee, hotdog and twinkies.

    I've heard that story before. Or maybe it was someone else? Not sure, but I think someone died from that.


    ETA: ah! Here it is: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/04/25/woman-starved-to-death-on-light-diet/
    It sounds like a hoax, though. It could be true. Lots of crazies in this world!
