food is a myth.

Goodness is this a WTF in itself. Not because I don't get Pisskop's joke... But because of... Other interesting things I've heard of. (An awful lot of people who claim to be able to live without food)

Rent can be managable with roommates, and food can be budgeted for, but good roomies are hard to get.  hard enough.

Wait, wasn't that the name of the people who live off air, not illegitimate tree people?

In "Kingdom of Loathing" those are called Oxygenarians.  If it's a thing in real life, I'm unaware.
Though I did hear from my dad about hippies who supposedly only ate "live" vegetables, and were able to reclaim water from their urine.

The 60's were kinda fucked.  Sometimes in good ways, often not.

Water isn't particularly abundant in space.

Look up Breatharians for one real-life example. Those folks are/were nuts.

Guessing hector meant "outer space". Obviously water is actually pretty abundant in the universe as a whole, but not in Earth orbit.

It seems to me that the attrition rate for such an ideology would be rather high.
