As Clown World Turns...

I know nothing about her but something's amiss here.

Raw-fruit diet IMHO should be stellar in-theory.

I'm guessing she had some sort of autoimmune or other big issue going-on.

No it's not. It's good at warding off scurvy, but it leads to serious nutritional deficiencies. Some guy claims to have lost 77 pounds in a couple months eating only raw fruit. Great if you're a fat ass, but not so great if you're normal.

I understand the conventional wisdom on the matter mate; I was all over this stuff 40 years ago.

Consider as an example the couple (married, unrelated) who ran 365 marathons in a year. They ate only fruit. Nobody's been able to come remotely close to such a performance. They experienced zero injuries. They had so much energy they ran from the Melbourne CBD to Warrandyte (home, 30-odd kms) upon completion of the year-long task, just for the heck of it.

They were both in their 60s and as I mentioned, genetically-unrelated.

I think it all depends on your DNA and body type. Some people I know have been vegetarians most of their lives and they look pretty good. Some people eat only meat and they look pretty good. I would argue a vegan diet is much more risky in general, but some people can manage with it. It's not a "this diet is bad for everyone" sort of thing. I learned the hard way years ago that I need a little meat and bread in my diet.

... but she'll keep voting for the same liberal progressive democrats... and the same liberal leftist bills.


Definition of insanity.

This is why I train and stay in shape as I refuse to be a victim or allow my wife to be vulnerable or harmed while out in public (she puts time in at the range and has no qualms about defending herself, god forbid she ever has to)
