Modern humans have modern inventions like zero calorie foods. I’ve talked to many who have fasted where their body probably disagreed with that statement.

Zero calorie food is the very definition of an oxymoron. Emphasis on moron.

This is on same level of single use clothes

I don’t know if you are disagreeing with me but see: zero calorie sodas and sugars.

Zero calorie sodas are food?

I'm sure you can find much research about how the body reacts to it as such.

Ah, now I see your point. Still should not be called food, though. Unless I've been misusing the word my entire life

Something that may tickle your fancy is considering words as food. Food affects our body in more ways than simply giving us energy. Can words affect the mind in similar fashion?

food provides nourishment. surely there must be other, more specific terms for these zero calorie "food" things
