"fourteen years in fasting"

[edit]

Are we supposed to believe that he didn't eat anything for fourteen years? Or rather should that be rewritten, so that it actually makes some sense? --BjKa (talk) 22:59, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Although claims of inedia exist, religious fasting doesn't always mean completely avoiding food and is often a type of sacrifice involving a restricted diet. On the other hand, the claim is not supported by an independent source. —PaleoNeonate06:10, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
In the broadest sense, fasting is nothing more than denial of self. Reggio 'fasted' from speaking for 14 years. That would be a legitimate use of the term. It most commonly involves food, as demonstrated by the Muslim or Christian faiths, but it is not exclusive to that usage. Contemporary usage can involve not indulging in 'social media', limiting oneself to to one type of food (juice fast), or other such expressions, religious or secular, for a period of time set by the individual or group.THX1136 (talk) 17:26, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
