The idea that we need to take our food apart and look at it under a microscope in order to know whether or not to eat it is not consistent with the evidence we see in nature. How do the animals know what to eat?

Trust your senses. Eat what tastes and smells good. As long as it comes *directly* from nature, you will get everything you need.

Best wishes,
Nora

thanx =D - yes i do agree that it doesn't make sense to obsess over every food we eat LOL. i was curious because i always hear how omega 3 6 and 9 are important - for the brain and heart. i know you get omega 9 from avocado, omega 3 from spirulina, but omega 6 i'm not sure what fruit or greens to get it from. all of the foods i looked up were nuts and seeds.

Kiwi fruit naturally contains omega 3 fatty acids.

Also, with omega 3, 6, 9 fats, it matters much less HOW much you get, and much more that they are in PROPORTION with each other. In the case of a fruitarian, the diet would be low in fat to begin with, so only small amounts of each of these fats would most likely be needed.
