I think you’re still missing the point.

Eating a good meal today doesn’t prevent you from going hungry 6 months from now.

Of course you know how to put food in your mouth and eat, but do you understand how to deal with the physical/emotional/mental challenges of living as a person who’s without enough food?

Sure it does. Angus Barbieri fasted for 382 days successfully.

In the same vein, working on one's body strengthens future potential disabilities, but not all, such as sight and hearing. However, most people who become disabled later in life begin to have orthopedic injuries rather than completely losing sight and hearing, which of course they lose but not to the same extent as getting arthritis etc. So the point of strengthening one's body is still valid.

I’m assuming you didn’t read the article at all and just wanted to show how you knew this fact about the guy who fasted for a year?

I read the article. And guess what, I also injured a limb recently so not only have I read the article, I have and currently am experiencing the same issues the author is experiencing. Even still, I can recognize that the points made in the article and the points made by those you're replying to are not incompatible, so they're not "still missing the point," they're adding on to it.

I think we are so far ideologically from each other that we can't even communicate. I can not follow this logic at all.
