Steve Fossett's diet

Watching Steve Fossett bring in his Global Flyer today, setting a world record for non-stop flight around the world. The only thing he could fit in to take to eat was...liquid protein drink.

Strikes me as funny that HE can use this to 'eat', but those on tube feedings are being kept alive 'artificially' ???

Formula is used all the time by infants, but others cannot use this in order to provide a LIVING BODY with nutrients?

Makes NO sense to me... rather like the baby in the womb is a baby when wanted, but a fetus when not wanted....
