Fruits are mostly water. They have antioxidants, which protect against all sorts of dis-eases, including cancer (the #1 killer in America). They have fiber, which binds cholesterol and toxins to it and removes it from the body. Phytochemicals can do everything from reduce inflammation to dissolve mucus.

Now let's see...dead flesh has ZERO fiber, ZERO antioxidants, pathogens a-go-go, and lots of saturated fat and hard-to-break-down protein...

Sounds like a plan...
