How dare you inject your "science" and "research" into this wonderful anecdote. sigh My first fast was 3 days of nothing but water, in the middle of the woods (by myself) when I was 15. It was part of a month long Outward Bound program. The water was coming from a lake, so I was dropping iodine tablets into it to kill the giardia. As bad as the no food part was, the lack of human contact for 3 days was even more alien to me.
