I don't remember if this fruit stand was listed on Yelp or any of those apps but it was clearly better than many restaurants if not all of them. The food was much cheaper and much healthier than any of them for sure! This fruit stand's prices were particularly cheap. 

@karensuestudios, @acromott and I had a real feast that day and a couple of the following days too! 

## Humans And Their Diet!

Hominids have had a symbiotic relationship with fruit for millions of years. 

People should eat whatever feed them the best and most enrich their environment. I feel like plants, in particular fruits, best fill my needs. 

I spend some long bout of time without eating any fruits, while I've also spent months on end where fruits were the vast majority of my calories. 

Moral of this, eat what makes you feel good and if after eating you don't feel good, think about changing your diet!

## Food For Thoughts

Dr. Michael Greger is the author of "How Not to Die" which made the New York Times bestseller lists at least three times.

> *Look, there is **only 1 diet that has ever been shown to reverse our number 1 killer, heart disease,** in the majority of patients, and that is a **plant-based diet.** So should that not be the **default diet until proven otherwise?** The fact that it also can **reverse other leading killers such as hypertension, diabetes, etc** —it just seems to make the **case for plant-based eating overwhelming."*** Dr Greger ([nih.gov](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4684122/))

## Plant-Based Athletes (Record Holders)

- Patrik Baboumian (Strongman)  
An Iranian-born German strongman who looks an awful lot like a vegan Wolverine, Patrik Baboumian, is very strong and proudly vegan. His personal bests include a 162.5kg (358.25lb) log lift, which was then a world record in the -105kg division, and an overhead keg lift of 150kg (330lb), which remains a world record. **In 2015, he broke his own world record in the yoke walk with a ten-meter, 560kg (1,234.59lb) walk in Kitzcher, Germany.**

- Scott Jurek, (Ultramarathon Runner)
As set the **American 24 hour record** with a run of **165.7 miles**, as set the **record** for the **2189 mile Appalachian Trail** and as set **10 ultramarathon course records.**

- Kendrick Farris (Power-Lifter)
The lone male to compete for Team USA’s Olympic weightlifting team in Rio, Farris broke the 94kg U.S. record by lifting 377kg (831.1lb) during the trials in March.    
 
- Clarence Kennedy (Power-Lifter)   
The Irish weightlifter is known for his 185-kilogram snatch and 220-kilogram clean & jerk at about 100kg bodyweight, lifts that he made both before and after he switched to veganism in 2016. Both of these lifts would be American records in the -105kg class, though we should point out that Kennedy has not made these lifts in competition.  

-  Hulda B. Waage (Power-Lifter)  
She also holds the all-time equipped national bench press record with 120kg (254lb), and has previously pulled a 185kg (407lb) deadlift.
