True story: back in the early 80's there was a guy on the west coast with a bit of a cult following (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inedia#Wiley_Brooks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inedia#Wiley_Brooks) who also claimed to be a breatharian. Supposedly he would only drink a little herb tea, but only when he had to come into the city. A friend of mine went to see him speak, was totally entranced and started following the beginning breatharian regimen (which revolved around only eating yellow food. Yes,yellow. Don't ask me why.) Anyway, to make a long story short, the whole thing blew up when his disgruntled ex-girlfriend blew the whistle on him and said that he actually loved to eat fried chicken. He was also spotted leaving a 7-11 with a hot dog.
