"A chemist from Braunschweig, Germany, claims he hasn't touched food in three years -- surviving instead on a steady diet of natural light."

Something tells me this one isn't going to catch on.
Man claims to survive on diet of lies -- I mean light

Light living...
I love light....Believe me folks. But I ain't going to start chowing down on tungsten filaments with a side order of halogen! LOL
Forgive me, chemist from Braunschweig, that just seems downright
Meshuggenah... LOL

Jay's Journal of Anomalies
On the subject of fasting, turn to Jay's Journal of Anomalies, an amazing book by magician/writer Ricky Jay, where he describes charlatans and "amazing" feats of all kinds. He has a whole chapter on people hoodwinking the public by fasting in public (but sneaking ham on the side) such as the Breatharians, who claimed to live on air alone.
The book primarily concerns itself with people and events from the 1800s on up, with beautifully reproduced woodcuts, engravings, and other pix. Its full title is: "Jay's Journal of Anomalies : Conjurers, Cheats, Hustlers, Hoaxsters, Pranksters, Jokesters, Imposters, Pretenders, Side-Show Showmen, Armless Calligraphers, Mechanical Marvels, Popular Entertainments"
Here's a review that of Jay's Journal that bears on today's topic:

Anyone here old enough to remember the novelty song "Junk Food Junkie"?
