      No, you need to take in enough calories (from food) to fuel the stuff going on inside in your body (heart pumping etcetera). Also you need nutrients and vitamins to keep yourself alive.

      On top of the water? Yes. By consuming only water? No. You need sugars and nutrients and other things from food that aren’t present in water alone.

      Yes, but I prefer to live on the land, as it doesn’t move around as much…

      Like walking on it? People certainly live on boats but I’m guessing that’s not what you mean. Or do you mean drinking it? I’m confused!
