Oh the incredible ‘Fasting Girls’, girls who could live on nothing but air. No sustenance required for these ladies. Food? Who needs it!
These girls became hugely popular for a time in the 1800’s due to their miraculous ability to survive without eating a single thing…or at least that’s how they marketed themselves.
Reality was that they were actually fraudsters using the fame of living without eating as a way gain attention and to make money.
Mollie Fancher of Brooklyn was quite famous for, apparently, living for 14 years without any food what so ever!

Nothing but superstitious propaganda. Watched a movie quite similar to this.
