A person can live without food for quite some time, usually for many weeks.
The body will use its fat and protein stores (muscles) to help it survive.
If a person has a lot of fat stores (is very heavy), they will live longer than a
person who has very little fat (very thin), so how long a person can survive
depends a lot of the person. Of course, if you go without food for a few weeks,
you will be very weak since you have been using your own muscles for energy.
Water is a different story. A person will die within 3-4 days without water. The
size of the person really doesn't make much difference.

7 I think. but do you remember the Florida woman a few years back that was taken off life support and kept on going? There was big deal about not giving her food and water (intravenous) I think she actually lived 3 weeks w/o anything.
