Leafy greens, mainly different types of lettuce. You can buy lots of them in any supermarket here... don't tell me they don't sell ready-washed salads in the US... 
Yes, that's true. I normally eat them myself, but they'll go on the prohibited list soon when I'm done testing your semi-fruitarian advice and I begin my Lex Rooker experiment. LOL!
I ordered the lastest edition (something like June 2009) of The Human Career, a highly revered textbook that is like the Grey's Anatomy of paleoanthropology.
Looks good; added it to my wish list, thanks.
If you like that, then I recommend the writings of the following Anthropologists and Evolutionary Biologists on natural human diet and lifestyle:

If I missed any good ones, I hope someone will let me know.
What is this, PaleoPhil being highly ignorant and wrong Day or something? All of the fruitarian sites I have EVER seen and the message board and raw food boards in general ALL talk about how much they love fruit and the taste of it.
More ad hominem, eh? Oh well. Yes, but every fruitarian, vegetarian and vegan discussion board I've seen has some very vocal and fanatical members who don't take kindly to people who would even consider eating cooked fish or eggs, especially RAW veggie boards. You seem to keep forgetting that many of us here have at least some experience with those ways of eating and those people in the past. Are you telling me you haven't taken any flack at all for eating cooked fish yet? Have they not found out?
...I do want mandatory social welfare for the Orangutans paid for by the people that rip up their homes and lives and otherwise starve them to death...) Seriously consider donating to these guys, you say I'm your relative, THEY'RE your relatives as well. They're starving to death and becoming extinct.
And you also shouldn't assume things about me. I know animals are my relatives and I've always liked Orang-utans, the forest people. Maybe because they look and act like me.
Please post a link to that charity. By coincidence I was thinking of looking for one myself when you reminded me about Orang-utans and I looked them up and learned that their habitats are being destroyed by forest fires and logging, but then got distracted by a phone call and forgot. I do, however, have a requirement that any charity I contribute to not promote PETA or any other terrorist or propagandist groups or vegetarianism or the taking away of the rights of indigenous HG peoples to hunt.
Just because I eat animals doesn't mean I don't respect them, quite the contrary. That may sound strange to a moderner, but to a hunter-gatherer (like the Inuit, Lakota, etc.) and even to some traditional pastoralists it would make perfect sense. The propagandists among plant-only-eaters tend to tell lies about meat eaters and hunter gatherers and lump us all together into extreme charicatures based on the most disrespectful and unethical of modern meat eaters. They may have told you some of these lies. Frequently, the animals HGs eat most often are the most sacred, and the first part of the animal they eat tends to be the most sacred part. They are regarded as cousins or brothers or spirit-beings, rather than as mere food. Eating sacred animals brings health and spiritual euphoria to the eater, which confirms that it is part of the design of Nature/Creator. Perhaps you experience this when you eat wild fish. It is seen as a way of continuing the life of that prey animal, rather than bringing it to a final end.
Think about it, all animals die. If they are not eaten then their corpses rot. Is rotting in the sun really so much better than being eaten by a fellow creature and thus giving life to another? Mother Nature/Gaia/Creator has designed it so that prey are eaten by predators and thus give life out of their deaths. Who are we to short-circuit that loop by attempting to remove ourselves from it? Do we really wish to place ourselves above the gods, to make gods of ourselves?
For myself, I hope my body receives a natural burial so that I may be eaten by animals or worms and other tiny creatures, so that my body and perhaps spirit may give life to them. I like what the Tibetans do, for instance. If not that, then cremated instead of being pumped full of toxic chemicals in a vain attempt to preserve my corpse, and thus turned into a bringer of suffering and death to living things.
