The Rules

The headline and article seems to be hugely misleading. According to this article, the $1 was only for food and he did it as a challenge, not out of necessity.

For how long though? Because I can survive for a week or so on zero dollars a day, by fasting and foraging for dandion greens and citrus fruit from trees in public places. Longer than 2 weeks and my body would start to fail, but Id survive, technically, for a while longer.
