Both factors are extremely relevant.

I have tried fruitarianism under ideal conditions I would say (I
bought all my fruits from the reputable supplier Orkos and was
delighted with them all). The only problem that I had was that such
a regime is much too expensive in the long term. It is, however,
certainly possible to live and thrive extremely well on such a
regime (our own Helmut Wandmaker is a living example of this).
Personally, I still eat fruits from Orkos, but only for breakfast.
I can work a whole day, eating nothing else in between, before I
need to eat again at around 18.00 hrs. The meal at around 18.00 hrs
is a raw mix of wild plants, domesticated but still wild plants and
a few domesticated and no longer wild plants (red and green peppers,
carrots, avocados, cucumbers, lamb's lettuce, tomatoes..preferably
from my own garden or from reputable suppliers).
