What do you think about fruitarianism?

Question

Hello.
While surfing the Internet I came across the topic about fruitarianism. It is more stricter diet than vegetarianism/veganism. I also read that it is not so healthy. It is okay to be a fruitarianin for one week but longer period can cause many diseases. What do you think of it? Do you know a frutarianin?

I know such a variety of vegetarianism and rawfoodism. Friends-fruitarians I do not have, but my brother was a rawfoodist for six months. He ate only fresh fruits and vegetables and was very attenuate and looked badly.
If I planned to become a fruitarian, I would write out the daily rates of all needed nutrients, and looked at their contents in those or other fruits. I think such nutrition is possible. The only thing, there is a question about the daily protein norm. Coconut, guava, date fruit, apricot, raspberry, currant contain it. I mean the nutrition should be very various. Only apples will not be enough.

i dont get it, whats wrong with eating broccoli? i'd rather not connect fruitarianism with veganism, it will do more harm than good, with promoting a vegan lifestyle to normal people.
