If I told you there were people who believed that you could live without either food or water, and instead claimed you could rely on sunlight and air for nutrients, you'd think I was making that up. But no! These people exist. They're called "breatharians", and their lead crank is Jasmuheen. Her teachings are actually well known enough to have been linked to several deaths.

"That's not my truth. That's not how I interpret it." If this doesn't qualify her as an Idiot Extraordinaire, I don't know what will.

As someone getting more and more involved in the online fitness community in the past few months, yeah, this is probably the most idiotic 'diet' I've yet to run across...good lord lady.
