Dr. Voegtlins book "The Stone Age Diet" reccommends no vegetables or
fruits at all!  He points out that even in tropical climes,
fresh vegetables are unavailable to primates for much of the year(see
also current issue of National Geographic for article on orangutans).
Some species of Primates (Tarsiers) never eat them at all!   Stefansson
(who discovered that pemmican cures scurvy) ate almost no fruits or
vegetables from 1906 until 1963.  He did extensive research on the Inuit
(Eskimos) who also never ate vegetable material as well as the people of
Iceland who for 400 years (cir 1000-1400 AD) had no access to vegetables.
Certain African tribes (Tutsi) also never eat vegetables and have the
lowest average cholesterol readings of any known population.
