One data point? Are you sure most of the people you know were eating healthier than you?

yes, having 0 nutrition would mean that i could not have possibly survived. and if you want to be in the group that thinks eating indigestible cardboard is a possibility because 'there wasnt enough data', have at it.

you do realize, you dont need a ton of data in everything to draw conclusions.

One is a data point. You can draw any line you feel through it but that doesn't mean it's a trend. You need more data.

It wasn't an argument about a trend. The question of whether you can drive a car by filling its gas tank with cola instead of gasoline is answered after you fill a car with cola instead of gasoline, then drive it. There's no need to establish a trend.
