Of course he can’t. But assuming our man had only whole grain bread to eat and water (with a little lemon to fight scurvy) to drink, how long could he survive?

He would survive until he died.
That’s just a guess, you understand.
I bet one could go for quite a while. A month? Two months? Water is the key, but you’d have to have some protein or fat at some point.
The Guinness Book of World Records® has a listing for a guy who was placed in a holding cell at some jail, and was literally forgotten about, for 18 days, where he went without any food or water.
When they finally “remembered him” and rushed to his cell, he was almost dead from starvation and dehydration.
According to this, AC, 71 years is the record to date.
OMG, Seesul!
I didn’t know that he had died!
Where do I send flours?
@Seesul OMG! he was a cannibal??
Well, scamp, as the saying goes: “you are what you eat”. actually, one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen was a rooster eating a piece of fried chicken, but it was in Louisiana, so I can’t blame him.
Ha ha!! Once in a pub with my SO, I ordered a cup of turkey soup. He said, Ha ha, you are what you eat, Turkey!!” Without missing a beat, I told the waitress, “My friend here will have a huge bowl of cream of asshole please.” Everyone within earshot was rolling, and SO said touche!
I now understand why you are called, Scamp
A truly brilliant comeback…
Why thank you kind sir!! ha ha!!
Absolutely not. Hence, peanut butter.
