People on here are so upset when they should be thankful. Most people don’t find out this simple truth until they’re severely ill from literally eating everything BUT fruit. Nothing in nature cooks. We aren’t designed anything like carnivores, omnivores or even herbivores. Cooking makes it possible for humans to ingest foods they otherwise would not in a natural setting. Fruits are the only category of food that all humans can comfortably eat the full spectrum of. (no matter their blood type, ethnicity, orientation etc.). If you HAVE to cook it to comfortably consume it, obviously your ancestors didn’t always consume it & chances are didn’t start consuming it by choice but out of desperation due to migrations & lack of natural food source. Fruits are the only foods that don’t dehydrate the body. It’s really obvious when you put yourself in the shoes of ancient humans who did not spawn into existence with weapons, tools, recreational fire or a constant supply of clean water (outside of the naturally distilled water within fruit). *Cues “humans are atleast 70% water” quote*. Meat, dairy, starches, grains ALL dehydrate the body no matter if they are raw or cooked!
They "dehydrate" the body? Where is your proof for this statement? Also, why is it, then, that all long-term fruitarians I've seen look emaciated, depleted, pale, with sunken eyes and dark circles, and dried out looking skin? One particular couple comes to mind.

@@fruitkid4759 No. It's been millions of years since we discovered fire, so we've long been used to cooked meat. And as far as fruit is concerned - the sweet taste has two meanings: on the one hand, the certainty that the given food is not harmful (just as the bitter taste discourages consumption) and on the other hand, it is a sign that it is energetically important. However, in the past, fruit was only available for a limited time of the year, so the human body coped with the fructose in it. But too much glucose is harmful.

@@fruitkid4759 he just ruined your argument, you should acknowledge it. You're going to damage yourself long term if you keep eating like this. The fruit you eat doesnt even exist in nature, humans cultivated all of them. You're young enough to figure this out. Look up Dr. Andrew Chaffee his videos are excellent.
only following our migration away from our natural habitat which is that of the tropics near the equator. immediatly following fruits, starches in my opnion are a great runner up option however no where near as dialed in for optimal digestion and overall bodily performance as our natural born diet of fruits n leafy greens is for us.

we dont have to cook meat to eat it and we have 3.4 million years of evidence of meat eating. Those fruits you eat dont even exist in nature, humans cultivated all of them. They are also seasonal and in many parts of the world, during many periods of time in human evolution, fruits weren't even readily available. Animals always have been. We also have the digestive system of a carrion feeder/carnivore. Our gut pH is around pH1.5 and a frugivores is pH7. We have the same gut pH as a vulture. Nutritional anthropologists tell us that we were scavengers before we were hunters, which lines up with what physiologists know about our digestive system. Humans evolved as obligate carnivores. Anyone interested should watch the video by Barry Groves: Homo Carnivorus What We Are Designed to Eat
@@fruitkid4759 not me, It takes time to do something like this. But I try different diets to see what is going on because the authorities lied to us, eons ago.
No. Humans and monkeys share many anatomical similarities due to their common evolutionary ancestry, but there are also significant differences, particularly in their digestive systems. Here's a comparison highlighting key differences: 1. Digestive Tract Length Humans: The human digestive tract is relatively short compared to body size, reflecting an omnivorous diet that includes a significant amount of cooked food, which is easier to digest. Monkeys: The digestive tract of many monkey species is longer relative to their body size. This is especially true for leaf-eating monkeys (folivores) like colobus monkeys, which need a longer digestive tract to break down fibrous plant material. 2. Stomach Structure Humans: Humans have a simple, single-chambered stomach designed for an omnivorous diet that includes both animal proteins and plants. Our stomachs produce acid to help break down food, particularly proteins. Monkeys: Some monkeys, like colobus monkeys, have a more complex stomach with multiple chambers, somewhat similar to a cow's stomach. This adaptation helps them ferment and digest tough plant material like leaves. Other monkeys, such as fruit-eating species, have simpler stomachs more similar to humans. 3. Dietary Specialization Humans: Humans have a highly adaptable digestive system that can process a wide range of foods, including cooked and raw plants, meat, and processed foods. Our diet has evolved to include cooked food, which is easier to digest and allows for better nutrient absorption. Monkeys: Different monkey species have different dietary specializations. For example: Frugivores (fruit eaters): Monkeys like spider monkeys primarily eat fruit, and their digestive system is adapted to process high-sugar, high-water-content foods. Folivores (leaf eaters): Monkeys like colobus monkeys consume a lot of leaves, requiring specialized stomachs for fermenting and breaking down cellulose. Omnivores: Some monkeys, like baboons, have a more generalized diet similar to humans, consuming fruits, plants, insects, and small animals. 4. Teeth and Jaw Structure Humans: Human teeth are designed for an omnivorous diet, with incisors for cutting, canines for tearing, and molars for grinding. The human jaw structure has evolved to accommodate a wide variety of foods, including cooked foods that require less chewing. Monkeys: Monkey teeth vary by species, reflecting their diet: Frugivores: Typically have large incisors and canines for piercing and biting into fruit. Folivores: Often have high-crowned molars with sharp ridges for grinding leaves. Omnivores: Have a more generalized set of teeth for processing a variety of foods, similar to humans but usually more robust for harder, uncooked items. 5. Metabolic Rate Humans: Humans generally have a slower metabolic rate, which is partly due to our relatively longer lifespan and the ability to store fat for energy. This slower metabolism allows for more efficient energy use from a wide variety of foods. Monkeys: Many monkey species have a higher metabolic rate, especially those that are more active and have diets rich in fruits, which provide quick energy. This higher metabolic rate requires frequent feeding and efficient digestion of available food sources. 6. Gut Microbiome Humans: The human gut microbiome is diverse and plays a crucial role in digestion, immune function, and overall health. It is shaped by a diet that includes a mix of animal and plant-based foods, often cooked or processed. Monkeys: The gut microbiome in monkeys varies significantly depending on their diet. Folivores have a microbiome adapted to breaking down cellulose and other complex carbohydrates, while frugivores have a microbiome suited to digesting sugars and fermenting plant materials. 7. Nutrient Absorption Humans: Humans have adapted to absorb nutrients efficiently from a wide variety of foods, including those that are cooked, which can increase the bioavailability of certain nutrients. Monkeys: Depending on their diet, monkeys have adaptations to maximize nutrient absorption from their primary food sources. For example, leaf-eating monkeys have adaptations that allow them to extract nutrients from fibrous plant material that would be indigestible to humans.
There is no such thing as a “species specific food” so your whole claim falls apart immediately. Humans are verifiably observably omnivores. Now in modern times we can perform scientific dietary trials and we may determine that the best diet to minimize modern disease and extend life is a plant based diet. But that in no way contradicts the easily observed fact that humans are omnivorous, and have been for millions of years.
Humans are frugivorous creatures - Whether you believe we are omnivores- we would still be frugivorous. I think you’re basing your point on what we can put in our mouths, but if we only ate meat, it would shorten our lives dramatically. So it’s not that simple. My argument for why I don’t agree with the omnivore statement or at least not obligated is due to the fact amongst primates - you have species that don’t eat animals. based on human observations, most people dont enjoy seeing the process of animals being slaughtered, nor relish in the idea of eating bugs and insects, nor want to consume raw animal flesh whole after the kill. It is also the cause of chronic health issues in excess. So far, there is only positive attraction and outcomes to fruits, berries, tender greens, vegetables and all of science points towards a plant based diet, which is similar to how 95+% of our closest relatives eat. while my moral ethics points towards honouring our empathy and not taking the life of animals no different to us, who also has the right to life

Monkeys: Many monkey species have a higher metabolic rate, especially those that are more active and have diets rich in fruits, which provide quick energy. This higher metabolic rate requires frequent feeding and efficient digestion of available food sources.
6. Gut Microbiome
Humans: The human gut microbiome is diverse and plays a crucial role in digestion, immune function, and overall health. It is shaped by a diet that includes a mix of animal and plant-based foods, often cooked or processed.
Monkeys: The gut microbiome in monkeys varies significantly depending on their diet. Folivores have a microbiome adapted to breaking down cellulose and other complex carbohydrates, while frugivores have a microbiome suited to digesting sugars and fermenting plant materials.
7. Nutrient Absorption
Humans: Humans have adapted to absorb nutrients efficiently from a wide variety of foods, including those that are cooked, which can increase the bioavailability of certain nutrients.
Monkeys: Depending on their diet, monkeys have adaptations to maximize nutrient absorption from their primary food sources. For example, leaf-eating monkeys have adaptations that allow them to extract nutrients from fibrous plant material that would be indigestible to humans.

There is no such thing as a “species specific food” so your whole claim falls apart immediately. Humans are verifiably observably omnivores. Now in modern times we can perform scientific dietary trials and we may determine that the best diet to minimize modern disease and extend life is a plant based diet. But that in no way contradicts the easily observed fact that humans are omnivorous, and have been for millions of years.
Humans are frugivorous creatures - Whether you believe we are omnivores- we would still be frugivorous. I think you’re basing your point on what we can put in our mouths, but if we only ate meat, it would shorten our lives dramatically. So it’s not that simple. My argument for why I don’t agree with the omnivore statement or at least not obligated is due to the fact amongst primates - you have species that don’t eat animals. based on human observations, most people dont enjoy seeing the process of animals being slaughtered, nor relish in the idea of eating bugs and insects, nor want to consume raw animal flesh whole after the kill. It is also the cause of chronic health issues in excess. So far, there is only positive attraction and outcomes to fruits, berries, tender greens, vegetables and all of science points towards a plant based diet, which is similar to how 95+% of our closest relatives eat. while my moral ethics points towards honouring our empathy and not taking the life of animals no different to us, who also has the right to life
