The man who says he hasn't eaten or drunk for 70 years: Why are eminent doctors taking him seriously?
I don’t know whether to believe this, but I am kind of jealous. Some of us get hungry or thirsty after sitting in meditation for ONE HOUR.
Also (and this is the part where any friends/family members reading my blog will accuse me of insanity and worry that I will develop an eating disorder), needing food and water for sustenance is wholly inconvenient. Sometimes it takes longer to find a good restaurant on Yelp than it does to actually eat the meal. Self-imposed dietary restrictions, like veganism, make it hard to travel. There are people who sit down each week to map out what they are going to eat for every meal. And cooking, not to mention buying the necessary ingredients and then washing dishes, is a huge time suck.
OK, rant over.
