Tom:
There are field observations galore of chimps and other wild primates.
Your claim that that such studies are unreliable because the chimps
were fed "bad" foods by the scientists needs proof - proof that you really
don't have (as you must furnish such proof for ALL of the chimp observation
papers - a big task).

Face reality - chimps eat some animal foods, as do other wild primates.
They do this because it is their natural diet. All you are illustrating
here is the extreme depth of your denial of reality.

Tom:
And your attitude above is simply further denial. If diet can have a
negative impact on mental functioning, as it may, the evidence suggests
that fruitarianism is the worst in this regard:
cloudy mind from zinc deficiency, emotional instability (mood swings)
from excess sugar intake, and brain/nervous system damage from B-12
deficiency. Over and above this, one observes eating disorder behavior
among fruitarians (binges, food obsessions, etc.), and hostile zealotry
(a form of dementia??).

The point of the above is that if one is to question the reliability of
"cooked food" scientists, there is even more reason to question the
reliability of fruitarian fanatics.
