Say Goodbye to Hunger

I don't know whether it is possible to survive without water and food, taking only air for nutrition. But apparently, DRDO thinks it is possible, and is willing to spend time and money investigating it:

Now, DRDO lab studies Prahalad Jani ‘mystery’:

"The Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Science (DIPAS) and a panel of specialists in the fields of neurology, nephrology and diabetology have embarked on a new study on Prahalad Jani.
Jani (77), a resident of Ahmedabad, claims to have survived without food and water for more than seven decades."

This is such an impossible claim, almost a superhuman physiological feat, I am surprised that a neurologist would give credence to it-

"Addressing mediapersons, Dr Sudhir Shah, Ahmedabad-based neurologist said: “The observation from this study may throw light on human survival without food and water. It may help in working out strategies for survival during natural calamities, extreme stressful conditions and extra-terrestrial explorations like future missions to the Moon and the Mars.” "
This could be the quickest and the easiest way to abolish hunger from this planet.
