A member asked:
For what length of time can a person go without eating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why?: Please be careful of answers to this question. It is definitely a thing which should not be attempted just to prove a point. If you are stranded somewhere with no food or water, you can survive around 7 days without water. As for no food and with only water, a person can last up to around 30 days. This mainly applies to a very healthy person. Just enjoy life.
