If you were in a prison with walls made of celery, would you die before you got out...b/c negative calories?

Question

would lead to starvation?

Just something extremely random to ponder....hahah

I was watching a show on the food network earlier about myths, and it said that celery IS actually negative calories and that got me thinking....

Answer 1

No, calories are just a form of energy, and if your body is not getting enough calories from food then it will start to burn muscle then fat for energy.

Answer 2

I would die long before I ate my way out.

Why?

Because I HATE celery.

That's right, I would just sit there in prison rather than choke down one disgusting, stringy bite.

Answer 3

I'd eat my way out, but only if they would have peanut butter...

I like celery.

Answer 4

Nah, the negative calories thing just means you burn more calories than can stick to ya, so you'd get out alive, but you'd have a lot of strings in your teeth.  :}
