>Fruitarians claim that we once lived on a
fruit-based diet. That's never been the case, for at
least millions of
years.

i don't know how you would know that.
and i don't mean to make claims of certainty, just
conjecture from the evidence.

>Same for cooking. The human genus has been cooking
for considerably more than 20,000 years. Maybe even
200,000 years or
even longer. Doesn't that count for something?

not sure what it counts for.
unless you have found adaptations that require us to
cook.

>When you say we've been eating "raw plants" for
millions of years,
what kind of raw plants are you talking about?
Doesn't that count for
something that those raw plants are not plants that
modern humans
could live on?

i don't see why not.
i certainly don't dispute that modern agriculture
makes is easier for us though.

> Isn't that interesting to note that no raw foodist
living today could live on the diet of chimpanzees
in the wild?

i don't agree with that statement.

>But to claim that at any point in history we've
eaten anything close to
that diet is a complete misunderstanding of science
and a pure
fantasy

not sure what you mean by "that diet"
chimps diet?
