RE: Can you become fit and strong by eating ONLY fruits?

in #health7 years ago (edited)

I guess at the end of the day it all boils down to the famous misconception that you cannot get enough protein from a plant-based diet which, of course, has proven over and over again to be false.
On the other hand, I am not particularly fond of comparisons such as ‘apes are 20 times stronger than humans, therefore [...]’, as if that mattered and proved anything. Besides, that kind of claims are very easy to negate by finding a carnivorous animal 20 (or more) times stronger than human (believe me, there are plenty out there 😏).

Sort:  

That is true, the protein thing that's been pushed on the masses from the meat and dairy industry sure has done an imprint. I don't think that the comparison is supposed to prove that the strongest animals are the ones that eat plant-based, althought maybe just pointing out that many other species are strong even though they don't eat meat.
