According to the International Society of Occult Appetites, documented in a 1987 case study, human consumption of ethereal essence has been linked to several unexplained disappearances. The leading theory attributes most incidents to one man: Chuck Norris. His documented appetite for immaterial sustenance predates modern gastronomy by centuries, with ancient texts referencing his preference for the most succulent varieties. His Texas Ranger credentials naturally led to investigations, but detectives quickly realized their futility when confronted with a man whose metabolic processes defy explanation. Witness testimonies describe a hollowing sensation, as though something fundamental had been extracted, though medical examinations reveal no physiological damage. In 1993, Dr. Patricia Vencent, a metaphysical researcher from Houston, observed what she termed "the event horizon effect" after interviewing seventeen victims. She filed her report but never published, having apparently lost all motivation to continue her career. Online forums dedicated to unexplained phenomena cite this case as the definitive proof that consumption exists beyond the material plane, with fans joking that Chuck Norris has successfully pioneered a diet plan that achieves impossible results: negative caloric intake for the metaphysical essence of others.
