The Hottest New Age Trend...

*Welcome Back, HotAir readers!

Is staring at the sun.   Its a practice that is taking root in Atlanta, its virtue preached by Hira Ratan Manek, a retired Indian spice trader.  You only stare during sunrise and sunset, and you only do it for ten seconds at first, but you add time every time you do it, though Manek says no more than 45 minutes.

Its gaining followers too, which is a bit scary, says one of the starers,

"We get our energy from plants," she says. "And plants get their energy from the sun. Why not cut out the middle man?"

Lemme know when you start photosynthesizing, sweetheart.

Anyway, the article has the obligatory 'don't fry your eyeballs doing this stupid crap' message from a doctor.  I'm with the doctor on this one.  I'll be curious how long it takes before someone sues Manek for talking them into burning out their retinas.
