The Sun appeared to be the first major news organization to publish a story about the "breatharian" couple this month. From there it went viral and was aggregated by a number of media outlets. "Not for 'Breatharian' couple Akahi Ricardo and Camila Castello who follow a 'food-free lifestyle' and believe they can sustain themselves using energy from the universe." Representatives for the The Sun, The Independent, The New York Post, The Daily Mail, and Metro did not respond or declined requests for comment. (The New York Post still, however, left The Sun's story on its website.)
