Have humans always needed to drink water in order to survive?

A Bible/health question I have had for a long time (possibly for creationists out there) do you think Adam and Eve needed to drink water in the garden of Eden or do you think their raw vegan diet options were so lush and filled with moisture that it wasn’t needed?

(Perhaps for non-creationists), do you think that water has been a necessity for humans to live since the beginning of their existence? How much water? What kind of water?

In addition to thinking about water…

Were humans carnivores or vegans since the beginning of their existence? How do these beliefs effect your permaculture philosophy and design? Have your beliefs changed over time?


I was raised vegetarian and have eaten vegan for a season… now I eat biblically kosher but I try to eat seasonal, local & organic when possible.

Religion, education, international living, budget, health challenges and allergies have all influenced my dietary decisions.

I have read lots of different books, including autobiographies, and interviewed many people about their health journeys (and permaculture journeys.)

Looking forward to hearing about yours,

Hi Alana.  I haven't ever lived on a raw fruititarian diet, but I've heard from multiple people that they don't need to drink water on that diet.

I do remember that Peace Pilgrim mentioned that on her travels through New England, she ate mostly wild berries and didn’t need to drink water.

Based on my own natural instincts, I find it unnatural to kill other animals and so I’m vegetarian. I see other people and they act like meat is a necessity. I don’t judge them and don’t mind people hunting because how could I judge them if I don’t judge coyotes, but it’s just against what my heart says in a very primal, visceral way. And so I’m guessing it is something that people have to learn and not our inherent divine nature. I also consider apples to be a kind of perfect food that in season is best eaten as the staple food. Many days in the fall I ate mostly apples, and then one time I ate only crabapples for a day. They are dense and nutritious in energy and water. I don’t think I drank water then but I don’t drink very much anyway. In my school days I would go the whole day without a drop of water, except some in the morning and then some herbal tea in the evening.

No. It is written in The Bible that the mana provided everything to survive in the desert
