Makes you go hmmm...

So I looked up the pros and cons.

The cons seem to outweigh the pros by far.  Unless we lived in the jungle, or had tons of fruit-bearing trees.

Very interesting... and the cons of the linked site above are obviously very onesided.

That said my rule of thumb is that extremes in any dirrection are bad, we humans are omnivours and thats what we should be.  But most people do need to eat way more fruit and veg and less meat for sure.   And the western world food production systems are horrible those people in Shri Lanka without a doubt probably have 100% better food than we do... fresher all organic and not grown on steriods, antibotics or fertilizers. Its a strange contradiction that i noted myself many many years ago that some of the poorest places on earth that have no electricity thus no refrigaration enjoy a vastly superior quality of food

Very interesting but Fruitarian could easily be considered a cultist in my opinion.  Because of my trigycirides being super high I have recently gone to a more diverse diet.  Mostly consisting of vegetables and vegetables that are cooked healthy no flavored down with magarines, butters, salts and other additives. I can already tell a difference in my attitude, health and strength, but I have not given up my chocolate yet . I only eat dark Cocoa which in reality is not that bad for you. It is the actual sweeteners and additives that make chocolate bad for you. I am also eating alot more fruits which are healthy for you ie grapes,avocadoes, pears ... You can eat healthy and everything is good. You do not need to go to the point of excess to get healthy. Cut down on butter, milk, salt, fried foods, red meats, and so forth and you can live long and still go back to one of your favorite foods every once in a while for a binge
