Uh, I think she's confusing food and food additives. Undeniably, there's some really cruddy processed food out there. Its more likely she's going to end up on Pro-Ana websites as a role model.
SEATTLE Is food an addiction? Thats the question one local woman is asking.
Naveena Shine is on a 100-day quest to avoid eating food. Shine is in the middle of an experiment that she thinks could change the world.
Eight surveillance cameras canvas Shines home, inside and out, recording her every move. Shine said the cameras keep her honest about staying away from food.
I feel great, Shine said Thursday. You know what, theres times where I go through, blah! Theres times where I think, should I stop this now?
Shines pantry is bare and her cupboards are empty. Shes on a mission to find out if she can survive on only tea and sunlight. Shine believes food is an addiction.
Its like alcohol, once you start doing something you cant get off it, said Shine. Especially now when they put all the addictions into the food to get you coming back for more, food is so addictive.
But nutritionists say the practice of self-starvation is dangerous and has been deadly.
A Swiss woman in her fifties died last year after embarking on a reported spiritual journey to give up food and water.
[/b]Shine now weighs 129 pounds, down 30 pounds since she quit eating. She says shes not trying to starve or hurt herself.[/b]
Her refrigerator does have a life line, just in case she feels the experiment has gone too far.
The other day I bought some miso soup just in case I need to come off very, very quickly, said Shine. I wanted to have something here in case. Its not opened yet.
Shine said she is getting both encouragement and criticism from around the globe, and thats what she wants.
She has asked to keep her location a secret so she doesnt have a bunch of people showing up at her house, looking to see if shes sneaking food.
