Woman starves to death on ill-conceived sunlight-only diet

I found this on MSN NOW.  Please follow link to original.

It seems some folks still believe the crap about "the wisdom of the east".  A place where slavery, caste systems, extreme poverty, massive extremes of wealth, etc., etc., etc., still exist, and have forever.

I firmly believe the "eastern religions", and "eastern spirituality" are just alternative ways to control the masses.  Just ways for poor folks to accept the status quo.  CASTES!!  After that there is nothing more to say.

Woman starves to death on ill-conceived sunlight-only diet

  ​A Swiss woman managed to starve herself to death after trying to follow a sunlight-only diet, after watching a documentary of an Indian guru who claimed to live this way for 70 years. Well, someone was lying and, no offense gurus, but obviously you CANNOT live on just sunlight alone. If you don't believe that, then look into the millions of people who die of starvation and thirst every year. Unfortunately, wanna-be ascetics have been dying of an inability to put two and two (food + water = alive!) together in Germany, Britain and Australia according to the Swiss paper Tages-Anzeiger, but for this woman to starve in Switzerland, home to some of the best cheese and chocolate in the world, just seems exceptionally unnecessary.
