You’ve no doubt heard of vegetarians and vegans (who don’t eat any animal products). Maybe you’ve even run across a few raw foodists (no cooking allowed) and fruititarians (who eat only fruit). But you probably don’t know any breatharians, who believe they don’t have to eat at all. They claim to live off prana, a "life force" that exists in the air and light.
Unlike many religious groups that practice occasional fasting, breatharians maintain that they can fast forever without ill effect. (Unfortunately, several converts have died over the years.) Still, many of the movement’s leaders continue to eat, claiming they don’t need the nourishment but merely enjoy the taste of food.
