I rarely believe what the media says, I always take into hand that pretty much %99 of ppl have biased views and make little effort of making that a conscious thought, Im just saying what I saw on TV.

Lazerouth thats actualy not a problem for him, I know this from watching Daily Planet aswell lol, that issue was also mentioned. After a certain period of time passes, dunno exactly how many days, a survival emotion/instinct kicks in and you do not become hungry anymore, from what I know this is well known to survivalist experts and from my understanding it kicks in so you can pay attention to keeping yourself alive.

Perhaps the scenario back in the day would be.. neanderthals died because they couldnt concentrate on finding food?, Im not a historian thats a specific guess.

VISIBLY THINNER, FILTHY and unshaven, Blaine broke down as he was greeted by hundreds of screaming and cheering crowds.
?I have learned to appreciate the simple things in life,? Blaine said as he clutched a microphone against his chest. ?I love all of you forever.?

Blaine was given a check-up by medical teams before being taken to hospital where he will be reintroduced to food, a process doctors say is potentially life-threatening.
Hundreds packed the river bank to witness Blaine?s exit from the box that has been dangling from a crane next to London?s landmark Tower Bridge since September 5. It became one of the capital?s prime tourist attractions.
One onlooker questioned whether it had all been a trick.
?Either he has done this for real so he is an amazing human being, or he has faked it in which case he is a brilliant illusionist,? said Kostya Butler, 20.
During the stunt an estimated quarter of a million people visited the site to see the 30-year-old New Yorker, who says he consumed only water via a tube.

DIVIDED SPECTATORS
The stunt divided Britain into Blaine admirers and Blaine baiters, sparked a national debate about the merits of the feat and even raised questions about the British psyche given the malicious antics of some in the anti-Blaine camp.
Blaine has been verbally abused, taunted with sizzling hamburgers, pelted with golf balls and rotten eggs and kept awake with drums and foghorns. Someone even tried to cut off his water supply.
His box had to be hoisted higher and security stepped up.
?It?s not big, it?s not clever, it?s a grown man in a plastic box,? says the website that led a campaign to deprive Blaine of any rest.
Some critics have said his fast insults the world?s hungry and the memory of hunger strikers who have died. Others simply mock him for what they see as a pointless, publicity grabbing stunt and many accuse him of cheating.
But Blaine won a huge female fan club. Women have bared their breasts and one woman even ran naked under his box.

From his box ? reported to contain only a journal, a quilt, a pillow, a change of clothes and a photo of his mother ? Blaine would wave or smile, or write in his diary, which is expected to land him a windfall if he decides to publish it.
Blaine made a name for himself as a stuntman after being buried alive in a glass coffin and encasing himself in a giant block of ice. He has called the latest stunt his hardest and ?also the most beautiful.?
He has complained of black-outs, excruciating back pain, tasting sulphur and burping a lot. In his diaries, extracts of which were published on his website, he said he most wanted to clean his teeth and have a good wash.
Blaine has also shown signs of delusion, dreaming of worms in his stomach and describing feelings of claustrophobia where the Perspex walls ?feel like they?re crushing my skull apart.?

If I should die this very moment
I wouldn't fear
For I've never known completeness
Like being here
Wrapped in the warmth of you
Loving every breath of you
