Fruitarianism - What does it Mean?

Rene Beresford with a feast before him 1. Man is a Frugivore (fruit eater), by physique.
Everyone knows, by intuition, that there is something very special about eating fruit, like a magic in colours, in texture. TRUE, because fruit is regarded as having been the food of Eden.
With modern electronic equipment it has been established from skulls, hundred thousands of years ago, that man was a fruitarian. Eating fruit is so simple, it is peaceful, no harm is done to anything, and it saves the environment and the animals at the same time.

2. What is fruit?
Fruit is the product of the vine and the tree which contains the seed within itself. Under the Botanical code it is: fruit, nuts, seeds, vegetable fruits (Cucumber, capsicum, zucchini, tomato, pumpkin). Some items may be debatable, lack of space prevents detail.

3. Why eat fruit for health?
Fruit has the highest cleansing properties of all food. The body utilises this capacity to rid itself of the toxins, (poisons) accumulated in it. If allowed by the owner, the body will commence detoxification and ultimately, once the process has been completed, one will enjoy vibrant health, clear mental and spiritual experience of wellbeing, once the transformation to the fruitarian diet has been achieved. Point (6) sets out what is meant by "Transformation".

4. What is wrong with meat, dairy produWs, grain products, our "normal" diet and vegetables?
Let us see!
What is natural for the body to sustain perfect health? look at the animals in the wild! They are all healthy, lean, no hospitals, doctors, no glasses, hearingaids, false teeth in nature!!
The only sick animals are those under control of humans. (what a tragedy that is!).
The animal in nature eats its food in the RAW, UNCOOKED state and only when it is palatable to its taste.
Our bodies consist of trillions of LIFE cells, which need, logically, LIFE food to sustain health. Hence, also we need to eat our food in the natural, RAW, UNCOOKED state. It must also be PALATABLE to our taste! Do we go out into the fields and catch a rabbit and put our teeth into it? Yuk!, We are not carnivores, teeth and intestine wise.
Meat is NOT a food fit for human consumption, neither are fish and fowl.
Dairy products are animal products manipulated by man. These products only tast "nice" because of the condiments and salts used. (try unsalted cheese). Milk is for the young animal to drink from its mother and they do so only until they are weaned. It is a tragedy that human kind will drink a product that is not for us, causes mucus forming, constipation, specially in children.
Grains are only LIFE when eaten from the fields as the birds do. Birds and wildlife do not manipulate grains, it is not cooked, baked, nothing is added. Humans manipulate it with ingredients, including salts. Grains, specially when manipulated, are mucus forming.
Vegetables are a LIFE food, but onlyin the raw state. Many vegetables are healing, but they take longer to digest. Also, to make vegetables more palatable, they often have to be cut up, mixed, a salad has to be applied to make it more acceptable.
Fruit; WHo doesn't like that most natural piece of fruit from the tree and the vine? Instinctively we all like fruit. Fruit is the most palatable to our taste, it needs no cooking, no condiments, no manipulation. By pure logic, the fruit is the PINNACLE of all raw foods.
