    I met a fruitarian at a vegetarian pot luck last month.

    He eats 25lbs of fruit everyday and ONLY fruit. He has been eating like this for 3 years.

    My observations:
    - he has advanced teeth decay (possibly from the sugar in the fruit?)
    - his skin is pale, pale yellowish color (for a caucasian)
    - He is 24 but looks 35

    What in the world!?! For Real? Why would anyone do that? That actually sounds like some kind of mental health issue that led to a strange choice like that. The tooth decay is probably from the sugar as well as the acidity of the fruit and maybe from being malnourished as well, which he clearly is. The yellow skin is from a liver condition probably. Sad.

    I definately dont eat THAT much fruit! Wow! Thats a ton. I think my stomach would turn inside out too much. My stomach does only have a certain tolerance for fruit, I probably pack in about 5-10 servings a day, but definately not 25lbs!!!
