I still don't understand where this carnivore diet came from? I don't think humans only ever ate just meat unless there is some history that I never learned about it.

Why fruit but not veg though? Like, even in the mind of a meathead, surely a vegetable has to be healthier way to get fibre than a fruit.
Because cavemen only hunted and picked berries or something

Vegetables are not a meaningful classification in any biological sense. Tomatoes are berries. Strawberries are nuts (kind of). Pumpkins are fruits, just like cucumbers.
It's just various edible parts of plants that humans have put arbitrarily into different categories without knowing anything about biology. There are dietary reasons for eating some plants over some others (taste, sugar content, fiber, allergies, nutrients etc) but if someone says "I eat only fruit" they have likely no clue what they are talking about.

I understand, same here. I was just making the point that any dietary restriction based on that is arbitrary.

Probably because he’d get scurvy otherwise.
I mean, why not both? There's no particular reason to abstain from either one unless you've got some kind of peculiar food allergy.
