Tom:
Let me follow up my original post with the obvious:
1) Mussolini did not look like a fruitarian - too fat.
2) The books by Johnny Lovewisdom contain a lot of unusual things - kind of
crazy. However, the book the above quote was from, seemed to be the most
"normal" of the batch of Lovewisdom books I skimmed.
Also, I am not claiming Mussolini was fruitarian, only quoting Johnny Love-
wisdom and asking if anyone has any factual information on the topic. I
found the above quote to be quite humorous, and hope you do too.
