Eating vs Blogging

So Anthony told me that eating was optional and blogging was essential. That was the general idea of his argument to try to get me to write a blog post after I told him I was too busy with doing things essential to life, like eating. Well, I disagree with Anthony's conclusion; I think that eating is essential and blogging is not. I decided to research some stuff to prove him wrong.

I came to these conclusions:
- If I went on a hunger strike with water allowed, I could probably live about 5 weeks.
- If I were trapped on a desert island with neither food nor water, I would probably last 1 day consciously, because I would go to sleep and not remember the rest.
- I would not actually ever give up food because I love it too much. So, unless I'm ever forced I guess I'll never know how long I could actually survive without food. I think I'm quite all right with that.
- If I weren't able to blog for the rest of my life, I would still have a happy and successful existence.
- Blogging and eating are not mutually exclusive activities, so I decided to make both Anthony and myself happy and write this post while eating a moist peace of carrot cake from Kneaders.
