Said Emilia, a former fruitarian, quoted in "Why Karolina Went to Bali/She struggled with an eating disorder for years. When she discovered raw veganism, she thought she’d found the answer" (The Cut).
The raw vegans I spoke to didn’t see any connection between fruitarianism and disordered eating. Karolina didn’t die from solely eating fruit for the last seven years of her life — she died, they argue, because she had essentially lost her will to live. Karolina could have recovered from her eating disorder while still on a purely fruitarian diet, they say, if only she had adopted a more positive mind-set. “It’s sad a lot of people would blame the diet,” says Zaia. “They’d say, ‘Oh, all she ate was fruit.’ But this was someone who ate one fruit a day and was really hating herself and just barely getting by. It really has nothing to do with the fact that she was fruitarian.”
And I had to look at this crazy ad juxtaposition — a sickly looking skeletal Tilda Swinton presumably smelling like something you'd want to buy:

There are lots of crazy people these days and most of them are Dems.
When I covered the Presidential campaign in Iowa, the Dem candidates frequently promised unlimited mental health insurance coverage. That always got big applause.
In my building, there are at least a dozen mental health providers. Women are about 90% of their customers.
Humans are not natural vegans or vegetarians. Our brains grew and we became more intelligent by eating meat. Humans evolved as endurance or persistence hunters that used spears and stones to harass, tire out, and then kill large animals. If today one shifts away from a million years of eating meat and large amounts of protein, the human body stops working correctly.
The core human diet MUST include a balance between (1) carbohydrates such as fruits and grains, (2) proteins -- animal is historical but dairy and nuts/beans do work, and (3) fats -- these work with proteins to build tissues and also lubricate the digestive system.
Making up a random vegan diet without considering human bodily needs will result in health issues, reduced intelligence, and/or death. Some vegan parents have caused their infant children to die by not giving them an adequate substitute for animal based foods/formula.
Leftists, utopians, dreamers, and cultists often do demand that the world conform to random and unproven ideologies. Every one of them risks being an evolutionary dead end in progress.
Every fad will be pushed too far by some people. “Frutarianism” has no attraction to me because I don’t see the point of being so limited and I naturally rebel against these strict rules movements that make things needlessly complicated (the healthiest diet for a normal person is to eat moderate amounts of a wide variety of foods. That’s it. No rules, just variety and common sense.)
Whether its diet, politics, fashion, hobbies, whatever, there will always be people who push it too far and harm themselves and others. These are the people for whom we need better mental healthcare (and we need to reopen the institutions as some of them need to be committed, for everyone’s sake).
And to think, the term "fruit" was once a perfectly acceptable insult. "He's a fruit" or maybe "It was fruity behavior". I'm guessing it's a cancel word now....
These people are kind of fructose, if you know what I mean.
Virtually no mammal is purely vegetarian. When you look at herds of grazing animals like antelope, sheep, cattle or horses you see animal getting most of their nutrition from grass but amongst the grass are large numbers of insects, worms and other small creatures that are being consumed right along with the grass. Other than humans, no animal is so fussy as to remove these little creatures from their diet. BTW, if you eat onions and other root vegetables, you’re eating nematodes too.
Why does she look so sticky? Fruit juice?
You mean dogs don't naturally eat broccoli like in the commercial? Maybe cabbage?

So they are Persons Of Fruity Fructose?
Tilda has been consumed by Jooo hate lately, turns out she should have been eating her fruit and veggies and she wouldn't look like that.
And the Lord said: "All that you see here is yours, but you can only eat the fruit."
Smeagol: The precious... fruit.
Obsession is unnatural requires nutritional supplements.
If only she'd believed in herself, followed her dreams, and had a positive attitude, she'd be fine now, eh?
Fantastic ad placement. Conveniently illustrating the problem.
What Karolina needed was a good steak.
Resting skinny bitch face of Swinton.

Yes, or else Persons Overdosed On Fructose --- POOFS, for short.
Back before Keith Olberman went completely bonkers (or maybe he always has been).

Is that really Tilda Swinton's body? I know the body is ridiculously skeletal, but something doesn't look right about the head and neck attachment to it.
Futilitarianism has nihilistic seeds whose fruits can be mitigated with meats and greets.
There is something creepy about Tilda. She looks evil.
She might be as nice as could be - but she looks scary, boney, creature from hell.
"a sickly looking skeletal Tilda Swinton presumably smelling like something you'd want to buy". Actually she looks like someone so close to death that she'd smell like something that would gag a goat.
"Fruitarian" is a great word. The diet would be terribly unhealthy. In my case, blood-glucose issues have me eating fruit sparingly. That diet would probably kill me in a couple of years.
I lost 30 lbs in college by eating the following every day: 300 cals Fish or Chicken breast, 1 Cup milk, 1 cup Cereal, 1 lbs fruit, 2 oz cheese.
Eating just fruit is crazy.
Tilda Swinton is the go-to actress when the character needs to look severe or not altogether human. The AI that placed the ad is trying to tell us something about fruitarians.
Who is making up these words? They need to do better. Fruitarianism sounds like they have a manifesto.
We need to teach Greek and Latin again, so it doesn't sound like the new lifestyle was named by a 5th grader.
If I have ever seen a healthy looking vegan, I am unaware of it since 100% of the unhealthy ones make a point of telling me about it.
Swinton looked very healthy in Constantine and Michael Clayton but those were 20 years ago.
If Alyssa Milano's body was "sexualized," what can one say about Tilda Swinton's?
Maybe I'm alone in this, but she looks a little like an art deco hood ornament.
Or David Bowie's twin.
Swinton resembles half of the left/art/music/sex industry women in Germany. Now, consider that Europe's population has been flat to declining for a long time. When one drifts too far from primal roots, this stuff starts to make sense to a dead-end generation.
I suspect that a lot of the article's readership will see that ad and think, "OMG! Tilda looks great! I want to be more like Tilda!"
From what I've seen, every diet ever conceived gives you more energy and makes you feel better than the one you had before.
I've always preferred my women on the smaller, thinner side, but once you go too far, it's not just unattractive, it looks like a mental illness.
For optimal health, at least once a day, you should try to bite something that's still breathing. It's not the nutrition, it's the solitude that it provides which leads to better mental health.
