Starving Amongst Abundance

Dave Nessia was starving himself to death while hoarding food. It was on the hit reality show Alone. After 73 days alone in the wilderness, he had lost 40 lbs. and his blood pressure had fallen to 80/60. Medically speaking, he was in an advanced stage of starvation.

But here’s the bizarre part, he had caught, dried and saved 30 trout that he planned on rationing out every-other-day. At 200 calories per fish, he calculated he could keep going for another 2 months. But you can’t survive on 100 calories a day. He was starving himself to death while hoarding food.

I wonder how often…
