Fruitarian diet is quite dangerous.
It's already hard eating all necessary nutrients on a vegan diet. Possible, but harder than with omnivore diet.
But restricting to just fruits... I don't know if it's even possible to get all your body needs just from fruits.
Something interesting and anecdotal. We get a lot of Indian immigrants in my area, and they're primarily vegetarian. But as soon as they move here, they become anaemic, because the lentils etc grown in our soil doesn't have enough nutrients for survival. They have to start taking supplements. I'm not sure why that is, but it makes me wonder if people would be more willing to be vegetarian here if it was actually viable nutritionally.
Oh sure that is the issue with all diets. Kinda depends how you look at it. Morally I would see milk and egg as not being an issue. That is why I said like the fruitarians because you would be hard pressed to find a mondern one who accepted those animal products. Jains have a whole sorta categorization of how bad it is to eat particular things.
