After viewing the controversial breatharianism documentary where an Indian yogi alleges to have lived 70 years without food or water, a Swiss woman went on a diet of nothing but sunlight. It didn’t work out too well, because she died.

The unnamed woman went an entire week without eating or drinking anything, consuming nothing more than sunlight and air. She paused after a few weeks for her kids, but soon went right back to her plan.

Everybody loves the sunshine, but nobody should love it to death.
