Tom:
I define fruitarianism as 75+% raw fruit by weight, where fruit has the
common definition, not botanical.

My statement above is critical of certain crank science claims that humans
evolved on a nearly 100% fruit diet. The "science" behind such claims
is pure nonsense, if you examine it critically.
