Suet624 There was a guy in the US who had followers and he advocated living with no food. I had known him years prior to this. Sadly and not surprisingly, he died. 3y
BarbaraBB @Suet624 It‘s unavoidable of course and I wonder why people would believe people like them?! 3y
BarbaraBB @BiblioLitten @squirrelbrain It was quite the story when it broke. I was fascinated by the group and analyzed their website and all Facebook posts. I still don‘t get how they persuaded people to just stop eating and drinking… 3y
Megabooks Sounds crazy! It‘s amazing what people can convince others to do. (And quite an interesting rabbit hole to fall down and try to figure out why.) Lovely photo! 💜 3y
