is it possible to live without eating?

Answer 1

actually yes, without tubes etc. buddhists can medidate for months without eating, there was a documentary on discovery chanel last week about it. look it up..15year old boy went without food for 10months.

Answer 2

Yes, if you drink your food. Make sure you get fibres in your smoothies. The only reason I can think of why it could be bad is that your saliva has a function of modifying starchy foods into some more digestible form. If you want to lose weight of if you are an anorexic this is a dangerous question. You are an organism that needs a balanced intake of nutrients to be at your best. Little food is not good.
