Yes I agree that breatharianism is mostly new-age woo-woo. As I mentioned in my post, in my research I found most self-proclaimed breatharians were in actuality drinking juices. As I mentioned in a comment though, there are a few well-documented cases of people who are known to have lived without consuming food or drink. Unfortunately I don't have the references to articles/videos anymore but it seemed legit. Those two or three documented cases had very strong religious beliefs in common.

The research of Bruce Lipton and others like Dawson Church with respect to epigenetics and the power of belief suggest there's still a lot we don't yet understand about the nature of our being. So though skeptical about living without food and drink I keep an open mind, and most importantly I like to have first-hand experience. Hence my experiment. But also as I came to conclude, part of living in this physical body is to experience the joys of this reality - enjoying food and drink is a large part of that.
