While most vegans and vegetarians think that we are herbivores by design, we are not! Our biological and anatomical design suggests that we are frugivores!
WHAT?
I’m supposed to eat noting but fruit?
Yes and No!While the notion of being “a fruit eater” may be an extremely radical viewpoint for most, it is imperative to be open to the possibility that that’s how we were originally designed and that we were forced to physiologically adapt over eons from our original diet—the diet that sustained a long healthy life ~ completely disease free!
So what’s the difference between a frugivore and an herbivore?
According to the food chain, frugivores are a group of primary consumers whose natural diet is to consume plant foods from trees and bushes that contain a very small amount of digestible cellulose found in fruits, nuts, seeds, nuts, and various leafy green vegetables. Herbivores, on the other hand, are a group of secondary consumers whose natural diet is to consume grasses from the earth that contain a lot of cellulose. In essence, herbivores have the ability to digest large amounts of cellulose such as in leaves, stems, and roots, with the aid of symbiotic microorganisms, and frugivores do not!

When I lived in Brazil it was easy to be a frugivore because the fruit (especially delicious tropical fruit, like mangoes and papaya and pineapples) were so cheap. In the United States is more expensive to be a frugivore; it is sad that in the US a sticker’s bar at the checkout line at a grocery store is cheaper than an organic red delicious apple. But I guess that has a lot to do with supply and demand. People demand junk food, so it’s cheaper than wholesome, healthy food. Let’s see if we can turn that around. I imagine that if we demand to eat more fruit, fruit will become cheaper than junk food.
You are so on point Toney. Yes! The time is right. You’ve started a movement that has COME TO STAY. It’s just a matter of time, humans are going back to the basics, diet/spiritual-wise.
Thank you Toni Toney.
You are so right on! I lived in Costa Rica once for almost a year and wow! The availability and price point was absolutely the best! In my new book, Ecotarian Diet, I suggest that when we eat a diet high in fruit during the summer that’s always the best to go! Most is local (at least US) and is definitely fresher and cheaper! Thanks so much for your comment!
