Re: [fast5] Re: Starving completely

Thanks for replying. I must have misunderstood then. You wrote: "In my
message (4819) I did not suggest you stop eating altogether". Here is
what you wrote in 4819:

"Have you ever heard of a fat person starving to death? No -- the fat
goes away first, because that's what it's for -- to provide fuel.
Because fat is such good fuel storage, you could live for a long time --
months -- on zero calories if you had water available. In your case, the
fat you carry is ready, willing, and able to provide at least 805,000
calories of energy. So how much do you need to take in? None."

So, no, you did not "suggest" I stop eating, but you wrote that I
"could" live for a long time on zero calories. I didn't realise these
were two different things.
