        I think most folks are aware that’s the diet that contributed to killing Steve Jobs. Kind of the poster child for not running Fruitarian.

      I’m 83% certain you’re joking, but joking about the diet that helped kill Steve Jobs isn’t cool.

        It was mocked in Notting Hill before Steve Jobs ruined it for everyone.

        I wasn’t aware of the myth that this is what killed him. It’s an interesting one that has little merit. There are studies that suggest a link, but it’s not a strong one. It’s not like smoking and lung cancer. To say his diet killed him when there could be other causes seems way off base. Did it kill Patrick Swayze too?

        In Notting Hill, the advocate for this diet (which shall go unnamed for safety reasons) supported it for moral, not health reasons.
