Don't worry, they've already come up with a plan to deal with
vegetarians, which really got rolling around 1990. They started to
market the highly biochemicallly unstable omega 3 and 6 polyunsaturates
as "essential," even though the literature on the dangerous of
polyunsaturates is massive, and ther is basically NO literature on the
dangers of supposed deficiency.
Also, garhi is correct, in that many plant foods are high in toxins
(not just polyunsaturates) and enzyme-inhibiting substances. And,
while most fruit is great, even in large quantities, you will need to
eat other food as well for high quality protein, etc.

polyunsaturated fatty acids are not toxins- or can you give me the LD50 of
these?

Arachidonic acid introduced directly in a rat vein, a few mg.

even Indian (in India, not amongst Indians in US) research.
First time I heard about biochemistry was in 1975 and was joining a
guided tour in the institute where I met a group working about both
essential fatty acids, but also about bad effects of the elongated
version of Mead acid, erucic acid (which in fact body may produce from
Mead acid and do, one of the bad sides of eating too much omega-9
acids compared to omega-3 and omega-9)
