I thought about that as I wrote it! I stand by what I said.
Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar?

So where’s does he claim to only eat fruit?
Are you confusing it with him recommending to use Apple?paraphrand@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
He was someone who was a fruititarian at various points in his life. He was also someone who didn’t shower at certain points in his life.

My ex- decided to become a fruititarian, with hopes of becoming a breathitarian someday after reading about a yogi who allegedly had done so.
Emphasis on the ex-.

OK, that only confirms to me that he was in fact insane. There is no way we are supposed to eat only fruit, it simply doesn’t provide any real energy, but consumes as much as it yields, meaning there is no way to survive on fruit alone.

He chose to not listen to medical advice for cancer and instead dragged things out with 'alternative medicine' long enough that real medical treatment wouldn't be successful anymore but still pulled strings to get a transplant.
He was nuts.

56 is long if you were born around 1901

Is it? I always thought lower life expectancies were dragged down by infant mortality. Basically if you survive the crib you’d likely live into your 70s.

When referring to diseases, yeah, but there was also a lot of death from wars and other violence, severe injuries from dangerous labor, and labor was pretty risky. If one was healthy and avoided injury they were certainly on par with modern life spans.

Yeah, that’s what my dad says, and he’s a medieval historian, so I believe him. I guess it’s possible that lifespan in 1901 was much shorter than the middle ages, but that seems unlikely

I’m pretty sure Jobs either didn’t die at 56 or wasn’t born around 1901.
