Dietitian Reviews Fit Shortie Eats | Raising a Fruitarian Baby

[@aspatzle827]

I'd like to add one more strange thing about a fruitarian diet: They define fruit as whatever English speaking people would spontaneously call fruit. Botanically that doesn't make any sense - fruit is the seed-bearing structure. Apples are fruits, yes, but so are bean pods, zucchini, tomatoes and wheat grains. Nuts are fruits, too. Olive oil and spices like paprika and vanilla are made from fruits, as well. And why are seeds without a sweet fleshy structure around them (like flax seeds) not okay but eating the seeds in a banana is fine?

[@sarahbarabe8470]

Because this is all an insane fad diet with no sustainability or evidence behind it whatsoever. It just doesn't make sense

[@dermaidskincare]

Your point ist very correct, but WAY WAY too scientific 😂 don't get me wrong, I am a pharmacist, but most people do not think about this phrasing

[@robl5027]

I was thinking the same thing the whole time, couldn't they just eat some seeds, maybe pumpkin seeds etc. for extra protein and fat. But I think Sarah just hit the nail on the head ;-)

[@toniballet]

lalala blablabla it has nothing to do with being a woman or vegan. First of all, her husband (I assume?) seems to think the same way and also: they are not vegan, they are fruitarian. That’s a big difference. And it looks like you have not yet arrived in 2019, since you seem to have a mindset of someone who lived 300 years ago 🤷🏻‍♀️

There is no such thing as a balanced vegan diet. There will always be deficiencies no matter what, we are predominantly carnivorous omnivores. We need a lot of red meat, organs, fish, seafood, poultry, eggs, animal fat and raw milk/dairy to be in optimal health.

[@SjofnBM1989]

@ that is very incorrect. I'm not vegan but no, you're wrong. If you're planning well and eating fortified foods and taking suppliments to fill in the gaps there's no reason you need animal products.

@@SjofnBM1989 Those "fortified foods" and "supplements" are extremely bad for you, they're all synthetic chemicals that do more harm then good in the long run. Eat naturally to be healthy, if you need to take supplements or eat fortified foods (such as those unhealthy breakfast cereals or soy milk), then the diet is clearly unhealthy. One example is Vitamin B12, its way better absorbed from something like wild-caught salmon, then it is from a synthetic pill. And the pill of course is obtained using toxic methods, making it extremely unhealthy. Better to just eat real foods, then take fake pills. Not to mention that there are no drawbacks to eating quality raised animals, only advantages, so why avoid them if trying to be healthy?

@ Dude, we don't have sharp teeth or claws. If we were meant to eat meat, we'd have the evolutionary features to match. We'd be able to hunt and kill our own animals like a lion,without using tools.

Thank you for clarifying the omega 3 differences! 🙌

Yeah, DHA and EPA are way better for us then ALA. Proving that we are predominantly carnivorous omnivores.

[@coreykenku1723]

@ What does proof of being omnivorous have to do with it?

@@coreykenku1723 Because as vegans, we would get only ALA. DHA and EPA are only found in animal foods. The fact that we cannot convert ALA efficiently, proves we need to eat meat. Period.

[@coreykenku1723]

@ In the modern day, we can take supplements. I've been pollo-pescotarian for a few years and am starting to go vegan, so I'll admit to having little knowledge on this subject, but to my knowledge, algae-based omega 3 supplements should currently be sufficient, as quite a large number of people are alive, healthy, and vegan. From a moment of research, to which I cannot attest, it appears that algae does have DHA and EPA levels comparable to those in fish. Historically, we have been know as an omnivorous race, but that does not mean that we need to eat meat, what with the rise in technology. Again, vegans are alive as proof that we do not need to rely on meat consumption.

@@coreykenku1723 Just because the vegans are alive, does not make them healthy. Also supplements are incredibly toxic and should only be used as a last resort, not as a method of replacing a healthy omnivorous whole-foods diet with an extremely deficient diet such as veganism or fruitarianism. If you are currently eating chicken and fish, I would strongly advise you to not go vegan. Do more research on the fat-soluble vitamins: A, D, E, K. And you will see why we need to eat some animal products to be in optimal health.

Most fruitarians forget that their mothers didn't raise them on a fruit diet, they adopted the diet long after their neurological development was complete.

@@mokanger97 hmm, yeah, that's possible he said that and I misheard or misremembered. but as far as I know jackfruit has less than 2 grams of protein per 100g serving.

Granted, the chef/waiter did say it was "proven by NASA" and they lightly joked about it afterwards, but the delivery was kind of dry and I think definitely a lot of viewers would take it as true information that was just joked about for not being meat, rather than a joke based on clearly false/exaggerated info.

The healthiest longest living population is the 20% of The Seventh Day Adventists that are vegan, less rates of disease, average of 10 years longer life expectancy, higher nutrient levels. There is nothing you need from meat (fish is "meat" by the way) that you can't get from plants, most of which you get more of. People don't get sick from lack of meat, they get sick because they don't eat properly and or have underlying issues from the lifetime of damage done from eating a shit diet that contained meat, dairy, eggs, junk food, alcohol and drugs hence why there are so many people that were raised vegan that do not have health problems decades on, because they had no damage from toxins in animal products, lack of fibre etc to begin with. All the problems they face can be fixed within the vegan diet.

That was such an amazing video for so many reasons! Firstly, thank you for distinguishing this from a vegan diet and secondly, that was such a great way to talk about her diet without assassinating her character. The truth is most of the people that put their kids on such restrictive diets do it because they think that's best and by just laughing at them we are doing a disservice to them, their children and whoever else might be following their advice. There's nothing better than calming exploring their right and wrong ideas rather than promoting some us versus then mentality.
