The notion of a person trying to survive only on air sounds, well, kooky. However, as the citations above and below show, those who aspire to
breatharianism see it as an enlightened, and even holy, state:
"Blume chose the most rigorous of the group's dietary options and began subsisting almost entirely on the juice of raw wheat grass. He told his friends he wanted to become a 'breatharian,' a holy man who could live on air alone."
