There was a guy who hasn't eaten (and therefore, hasn't pooped) in 11 years. He's been on a drip the entire time.
Longest you've gone without food?

Last year I had severe glandular fever and couldn't eat for 11 days. Instead I was only able to drink water infused with protein powder and, strangely, is could drink eggnog through a straw (chocolate milk almost killed my throat but Eggnog was ok). I lost a good 10 kgs and was very weak for many months afterwards.
Does hospital "visits" count?
Because if so I have a streak of two weeks. When I was twelve I fell and damaged my neck and head pretty severely. Needless to say, I was unconscious. I don't remember much of my life before that injury really, only fragments, and I have troubles collecting my thoughts.
But I do remember feeling really starved when I regained consciousness and came out of the the worst of the morphine haze..

About 5 days.. It started cause I was sick, and then I just wasn't hungry after the first couple of days, and I kept forgetting..
About a day and a half, I was travelling and didn't really bother to stop at any point.
Also, unless there's a good reason (like illness), anyone who forgoes eating, which should be a part of everybody's daily life, is a fucking idiot.
Don't do it on a bet, don't do it on a hunger strike, don't do it because you're stoned. You're an idiot, now sit down and have a sandwich.
I have little respect for people who voluntarily neglect their own wellbeing.

Well, I used to do "some" fasting twice every year since I was 16.
No eating, drinking only water and tea, and every 4 days a half liter of vegetable broth(without the veggies, just the broth) and a glass of milk.
I usually do 2-3 weeks, but the longest I've gone is 7 1/2 weeks(53 days to be exact).
But I think I could have gone on for quite a while.
According to my doctor I had almost none sings of any lack in my metabolism.
And if you take a look at some indian sadhus you can do it for very, VERY, long...

Thirty hours. A few years ago, I did 'the Thirty Hour Famine' with some people from my church. It sounds weird, but it's to raise awareness for world hunger. People sponsor you through the event, and the money goes to help set up farms in third world countries to help people be self sufficient.
I've done a couple of 24 hours fasts for charity although, I have to admit, for one of them I did have some crisps.
It's the money that counts, right?

Define "Without food".SilentCom said:
I've gone over 2 months without consuming anything that was not a liquid. It had nutrients and whatnot obviously, but there was no actual "food" within it. The reason being I had to undergo jaw surgery and had my teeth wired together for those 2 months. It was not a pleasant experience.
two days I think... But that was only while being sick.
One day for religious fasts a couple times.
I'd fast more but I'm in school so need to not be thinking about my stomach. I'm not very stoic.

Hmmm about two days would be three if a handful of crackers were counted. It was not a good time of my life. Family disowned me and I literally had no money.
I usually only eat one to two meals a day which always surprises people. I weigh 110, part of that is due to super high metabolism, never hungry, and when my folks tried to get me to go on bulk up shakes I developed aversion to food (equating in my mind gaining weight with looking male)
