Fairyfairmgirl, I agree with you. I am most specifically not saying that this will never be. Like you I believe it is on our path.. One thing though, I thought the Siddah's did not have a normal body but a light body replacement. I'm not even close to amateur in my knowledge on those guys though. If I'm correct then I understand why they live of light 
They don't have a physical body to feed regardless how physical this body looks or feels to others.
And Ayadew, I hear you and I go even further, one reliable study of one person who has not eaten in 2 months. Who shows no signs of weight loss or other forms of deterioration. And I would change my mind on the possibility. I'll even ignore the long term effects. Because once we've established that it's possible, we'll still need to make very sure it's healthy. But if it's possible, then I'll accept as a given that it's probably healthy.
My main issue is that the handful of self proclaimed breathairians I've looked into all were speaking about the need for a superior form of ethics yet they were all found to be frauds and some even became nasty when confronted with criticism. It just does not add up.
Therese Neumann who I think is not a fraud ate one holy Eucharist per day which is obviously incredibly little. But it still contains a relatively large amount of sugar and honey, two powerful sources of energy. And then again, I personally knew a woman who ate one cracker with cheese per day and drank only sugarless tea. And she did cleaning work! Physical labor. That's also incredibly little considering the work she did.
Maybe a common mistake for "successful" breathairians is that they think that that single cookie or cracker per day makes no difference? While the body can in reality sustain itself on an apparently negligible small amount of food. We certainly eat too much. The body survives in spite of a lot of crazy diets. This would explain why so many breathairians are exposed as frauds. They believe that they can do without the one single tiny minor indulgence they partake in. And when they accept the scrutiny they really don't believe it will be an issue. Which shows once more how important discernment really is.
The step between a tiny amount to nothing might be immeasurably larger than from a normal diet to hardly eating at all.
