OK, so some of you don't agree-and I really wouldn't say I think your "bullshit" too, especially because you don't know what your talking about...Even animals, who don't do it consciously, stop eating when there is a problem with their health...and giving your digestion a rest (in a decided manner) "is" a contribution to better health...You think those pot bellies walking around is just fat??? That is ,( & not in all cases), distention of the colon & bowels, impacted food stuffs of putrified consumption, that has adhered to the stomach lining like Pirelli Rubber, blocking absorption of nutrients (for one thing)...It may be easy for you to negate that there is any value to it, merely because your healthy (and probably young)...I know from personal experience, and from friends who employ (or who have utilized) fasting, they have had good experience with it.
So if you don't think it has value, fine-don't do it-but I find value in it-so keep your "bullshit" comments to yourself...I realize there are many 'schools' of thought on this subject, and talking about our evolutionary design, ultimately we are not designed to eat 'meals'...we are geared more toward one food group at a time, as we would come upon them naturally and seasonally, and ultimately are not designed to be meat eaters either...that especially for our present evolved state, where we should be educated enough to know that. Read John Robbins-"Diet for a New America"...then come and talk, and while your looking, read a bit more on fasting...I already have.

Your body doesn't stay toxic, you actively secrete waste through urine, repsiration, and sweat. The body doesn't store toxins for a rainy day, its in the body's best interest to get rid of toxins as soon as possible, and that's exactly what it does on a day to day basis.
....no, it doesn't store them for a rainy day, but in todays world, which is much more toxic than the body was designed for, and the body can't keep up with the load-which leads to 'dis'ease, hence, we have cancer etc...and on the other topic of body odor...those toxins are what your smelling...of course there are other factors...I'm talking the foul odors..the 'what died in you" odors..if you eat curry tonite...your sure gonna have it come through your pores and pits later or tomorrow...garlic too, anyone who has done drugs, c'mon...admit it theres that chicken soup smell comin off your pits...and worse , depending on what drug or chemical..if you have 'putrification" (and not you specifically-God knows I don't want to have to clarify or defend that too) you will have 'body odor'..and your feet will smell (and I'm talking badly...not your everyday scents)
So don't make me defend every freakin word I put down here
