What would happen if we fed ourselves on light, like plants?

If we could solve the mystery of photosynthesis, all energy needs on the planet would instantly be solved.

All? You sure?
We don’t waste energy just on eating…

We would not need organs to survive. We would look like a skinny alien. Just skin, bones and a brain.

This is a very cool question. I am anxious to see more answers.
Whooo hoooo, loli! Where are you?
Hey everybody, pop that GQ button.

In a way we do. Most life is running off of the Sun. The plants take the Sun’s energy, and convert it into plant matter,which either we eat directly, or we eat it by consuming animals that ate plants…

Hey look, it’s a photoselfiethis

Could we smoke each other?

@RedDeerGuy1 I think you’d still need lungs.

@MrGrimm888 “like plants”.

@kritiper Well, yeah, I guess.

You would have to be careful not to stop in one place for too long or you’d put down roots.

I think I would like it if we could choose.
On rainy days, get a pizza, on sunny days, no lunch to weigh me down.

Photosynthesis is not actually very efficient.
Remember, plants do not walk around.

And they get raped by bees and butterflies.

“C’mon, baby, light my fire…”

Oooooo, butterflies suckling at my nector, another plus.

Well. I don’t think it could work, because plants also get nutrition from the soil. Maybe we could have big tails/roots that we could put in good soil. Then pull them out, to walk around.

And we’d need a skin, that could work like leaves.

Bring the mitochondria next to the chloroplasts and the carbon cycle would speed up.

@MrGrimm88 Groooooot :D .

I am groot

Not much in terms of bodily waste.
