        How do they explain the Inuit Eskimo who never had fruit available and
seem to live healthy lives without it? Now why I certainly wouldn't
advocate doing this. I would have to take a wild guess and say that the

stole from another animal.

the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through
striving after rational knowledge."
