I can show you a couple toothless ex-fruitarians in Hawaii, one of whom ate

fruit available here is certainly not industrial quality. I suspest Tom's
testimonial has more to do with eating fruit to the exclusion of other
foods than it does with fruit quality.

Well, Rex, its time you started supplying the world with fruit grown to
your high standards and we can all be fruitarians w/o dental problems. ;)
