Wiley Brooks

Wiley Brooks is a leading light of the breatharian movement.

"You can eat if you want to; that's your prerogative… I used to play that game… I know what it's like… But I'm just not interested in it any more... I'm not interested in going out, and working for the money to buy the food, then shopping for it, then going home and preparing it, then eating it, then washing the dishes, then just letting it all out in the toilet… and in the end, you end up in a box, in the ground, on the outside of town. Meanwhile, we can't figure out why we don't feel that good, or why we don't have enough energy (another reason many people mistakenly eat more), or why we don't look that good... and we spend billions of dollars annually on ways to lose weight. In the Bible, even Jesus reminds us that 'Food goes into the belly, and is cast out into the sewer' (Matthew 15:17)"

"In 1983, most of the leadership of the cult in California resigned when Wiley Brooks, its 47-year-old leader, who claimed not to have eaten for 19 years, was caught sneaking into a hotel and ordering a chicken pie." 2 (http://www.gospelcom.net/apologeticsindex/b12)
