My brother Timmy deserves all the credit for this. I don’t know how he stumbled upon this, but if this has already made the rounds, and I somehow missed it the first time through, forgive me. (Apparently, Amanda knew about it, some chick died in the woods or something last year. I was kinda fake-listening at the time.) This is truly batshit insanity, crossed with new-age hogwash that combines and coagulates into solid 24K Teddy Pendergrass-level YouTube GOLD. Let me introduce you to Peter Prana Eater. He’s a self-described Breatharian.
Breathawhatian? What’s that? Oh, they’re people who claim they don’t need to eat food. EVER.
Here’s how it’s described on Wikipedia: (It sends you to something called Inedia, which is what it’s based on, before they pepper it with crazy juice, I guess.)
Inedia is the alleged ability to live without food, which has been dismissed by the scientific community. Breatharianism is a related concept, in which believers claim food and possibly water are not necessary, and that humans can be sustained solely by prana (the vital life force in Hinduism), or according to some, by the energy in sunlight. The terms breatharianism or inedia may also refer to this philosophy practiced as a lifestyle in place of the usual diet. While it is often seen as an esoteric practice performed by eastern ascetics, recently some groups and individuals such as the Breatharian Institute of America have promoted the practice as an option for anybody, once the proper techniques for accessing it are made known (after paying a fee of 25,000,000 USD, in the case of the Breatharian Institute of America[1]).
No, really. I’ve heard of shit like this before, but I didn’t know about Peter’s YouTube channel, which is nuttier than a pile of PayDays drizzled with squirrel poop:
Come on.
No, seriously. COME ON. Try describing it to me or something. What else you got, Pete?
Well, I don’t know what the fuck THAT was supposed to be. You want to try another video, maybe one with a graphic you didn’t openly swipe from FREAKING GETTY IMAGES?!
Ok, Pete. I’ve still got an open mind. Bring in some of your yoga buddies to help convince me. You link to something in your channel called Sun Gazing, which sounds like it requires me staring directly at the sun. That doesn’t strike me as such a bright idea, but what the fuck do I know, I only have a college education and a shred of COMMON FUCKING SENSE. But what the hell, Let’s get crazy. Show me what you got.
OH GOD OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH HIM KILL IT WITH FIRE THE SIDEBURNS ARE EVIL GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!
For fuck’s sake, man. Warn a brother if you’re going to bring out the Gremlins.
Ok, last shot, Pete. Hit me with the best, most reasonable argument you got. I’m begging you. I could really go for a Hotpocket right now.
Further down the Rabbit Hole?! Come the FUCK ON. Now only if they had a blog for their incoherent mumbo-jumbo…
Oh right, what’s that really cool thing called again? Oh yes. Google.

This PROBABLY isn't Wiley Brooks' rapemobile. We think.

I became a breatharian freshman year of college, only I called it: “deciding to spend my money on Natty Ice and Marlboros instead of Ramen.”
