Talk about an oxymoron!  Experimenting with unnatural foods is what got
humanity into this mess.

Most days, I'm 100% fruit but I have never been 100% fruit for an extended
period of time.  I eat more vegetables and nuts than my partners David and
R.C. because I'm into heavy weight-lifting and hiking and if I was eating
100% fruit it would be much more difficult to maintain my muscle mass and
my 6'2" 200 lb. body (I used to weight 240 when I was cooked -- I was never
fat, but I guess I had 40 extra lbs. of internal pollution to get rid of!).
I believe that a 100% fruit diet is the best diet for a natural human.
When I said that a 100% fruit diet would be "too natural," I meant it in
the same sense like when you take away someone's cooked medication and give
them a piece of fruit instead and they die -- of course the medication is a
ridiculous substance to be ingesting and fruit is our natural food but the
cooked-food mutant couldn't handle it -- it's "too natural."  Most of
humanity is deformed and debased and they would die if they suddenly gave
up their poisons and ate all fruit.  But hey, that's the way in which
Nature works.  Survival of the Fittest remains an eternal biological truth.
