I was told that Ellen "Jasmuheen" Greve will be there spewing her pathetic nonsense about so-called breatharianism.

I heard these breatharians say that all you need is air and to walk barefoot outside in the sunshine, and if you are spiritually aligned, you will need no food.

Yes, tell that to the starving children in Africa who walk barefoot and get lots of sunshine. Or to the wild animals that die when their food source dries up. I don't supposed you can be more spiritually aligned than an animal living in the wild.

Or tell it to my friend's wife and two children. You can't tell him because he died while trying to be a breatharian. The last time I saw him we were trying to convince him to eat something, anything.

Here is some information about that deceptive, cunning, liar who appears to still be on her campaign to get people to starve themselves:

From WikiPedia:
Jasmuheen (born Ellen Greve) was probably the most famous advocate of breatharianism during the 1990s. She claimed "I can go for months and months without having anything at all other than a cup of tea. My body runs on a different kind of nourishment."[2] Several interviewers found her house full of food, but she claimed the food was for her husband. In 1999, she volunteered to be monitored closely by the Australian television program 60 Minutes for one week without eating to demonstrate her methods.[3][4] Greve claimed that she failed because on the first day of the test she had been confined in a hotel room near a busy road, saying that the stress and pollution kept her from getting the nutrients she needed from the air. "I asked for fresh air. Seventy percent of my nutrients come from fresh air. I couldn’t even breathe", she said. On the third day the test moved to a mountainside retreat where she could get plenty of fresh air and live happily. After Greve had fasted for four days, Dr. Beres Wenck, president of the Queensland branch of the Australian Medical Association, urged her to stop the test.

According to the doctor, Greve’s pupils were dilated, her speech was slow, she was "quite dehydrated, probably over 10%, getting up to 11%." Towards the end of the test, she said, "Her pulse is about double what it was when she started. The risks if she goes any further are kidney failure. 60 Minutes would be culpable if they encouraged her to continue. She should stop now." The test was stopped. Dr. Wink said, "Unfortunately there are a few people who may believe what she says, and I'm sure it's only a few, but I think it's quite irresponsible for somebody to be trying to encourage others to do something that is so detrimental to their health."[5] She challenged the results of the program, saying, "Look, 6,000 people have done this around the world without any problem."[6] Though she claims thousands of followers,[7][8] mostly in Germany,[9] there is no evidence that any have lived for long periods of time without any food at all.

Jasmuheen was awarded the Bent Spoon Award by Australian Skeptics in 2000 ("presented to the perpetrator of the most preposterous piece of paranormal or pseudoscientific piffle").[10] She also won the 2000 Ig Nobel Prize for Literature for Living on Light. Jasmuheen claims that their beliefs are based on the writings and "more recent channelled material" of the Count of St Germain.[11] She claims that her DNA has expanded from 2 to 12 strands, to "absorb more hydrogen". When offered $30,000 to prove her claim with a blood test, she said that she didn't understand the relevance.[12]

:)
we have the power of choice
some one choose to go raw or not
some one choose to read and answer
some one decided to give an opinion and get and opinion back
some one choose to let the universe to answer and other to let a book or news to judge
some one decide to go bretharian and die
some one choose to believe in this or not....despite any fact...truth or false does not matter...no ones fault...it was our choice
since that occur
all of the ones choosing this or that...were free and are good to keep doing it forever,...regardless of a physical body or not :)
just an opinion
