    Not including berries in “fruit” is weird AF.

    Saying we don’t need fibre is just deeply misinformed.

    Anecdotal evidence, universalized, is often just rationalization. I believe you about your experience. I don’t think you can generalize accurately withit.

      I said in the traditional definition. Fruit includes berries as well in the scientific definition, yes.

      Was everyone using the scientific definition all along? Kind of unusual but I’ll take it.

      Anecdotal evidence

      Excuse me but it doesn’t matter in this case based on what you asked me.

      You asked, that I prove that people can have a healthy diet without fruit, which would imply that your hypothesis is that you can’t. So I give you two examples that disprove the hypothesis, and you reject them? That’s not the scientific method, sir.

      All that aside, I’m glad you believe me, because I have no reason to lie of course.

      Vegetables are essential, and I eat those. Had I not eaten them, I think we wouldn’t be having this discussion. 😅 I’d be eating a lot of supplements or be dead or dying.
