Original Post:
The dialog on this blog topic is one of my favorites so far this year. Seeing each of your varied reactions to this topic is enlightening. Frankly, I could care less if he has really gone 70 years without food or water. Fourteen days is amazing enough to me!
This topic intrigued me enough to do a little research and I found this video:

BBC is no National Enquirer - they are a pretty reputable source and seeing their take on this issue was interesting. Watching Prahlad Jani Mataji in action (though 'action' is a strong word in his case) helps to show how small and frail he is and how limited his motions are. It makes his claim seem more believable, though I still have my doubts...
Every child, woman and man deserves to get the basic nutrition their body requires. It’s us who can make sure they are not deprived.
