fruits are always restricted because they contain a lot of carbs (sans
avocado).
That said, within one's daily allowance of carbs, fruits are
permitted. I feel that vegetables give more bang for the buck than
fruits anyway, and eat about one apple per day only as far as fruits
are concerned.
I personally think that there is a lot of truth in raw foodism, which
is saying that raw foods are great foods. The logical fallacy that
they make is saying that they want to ONLY eat raw foods, instead of
correctly saying that they should eat a lot of raw foods.
So, a great majority of what I eat is raw, sans for meat and
such. Tried to eat raw meat also, but it is not very practicable due
to spoliation/contamination issues.
