You keep driving away at this fruitarian thing but from what we can see of
our closest ancestors, they were decidedly NOT fruitarians.  Cave sites for
Peking Man (500,000 BC) are shown to have a plethora of animal bones
indicating heavy meat consumption.  Give me an specific example of a
fruitarian ancestor that you think has some bearing on this.

Nut and plant proteins really are inferior to meat protein in relation to
amino acid profiles.  You should also look at current estimates for
nitrogen balance and adaquate protein intake.  The RDA is based
on old numbers that are founded on wrong assumptions.  I believe even
the United Nations food bank calls for higher protein requirements.

Sure kidney probelems come over the years.  And yet none of these imagined
problems you talk about come to pass.  Can you give me references that
indicate these problems?  The latest research that I have read shows that
increased protein consumption improves kidney function.  There have been
plenty of people, whole societies, that eat far more protein that you think
prudent and they are not falling over from kidney failure.
