If you read my post closely, you would see that I stated exactly this. The diet we evolved for is about 80% fruit, with the final 20% divided between leaves, roots, insects, and the occasional RAW meat.
You didn't read my posts very closely. The "Paleolithic diet" includes a SMALL amount of raw meat. However, I personally exclude the meat since it is not necessary for survival and contains low vibrations.

Again, I never claimed this. You are putting words into my mouth. In my opinion, the diet we evolved for is the paleolithic diet, which includes RAW meat. NOT COOKED.
The raw vegan diet is a modification of the paleolithic diet to exclude meat because spiritual aspirants have discovered over thousands of years that, if meat can be avoided, it should be. This is where the ayurvedic tradition comes in, where channeling comes in, etc.
Humans will thrive on the paleolithic diet, and spiritual aspirants/meditators/initiates thrive on the paleolithic diet as well with the modification of excluding the negative tamasic vibes of dead animals.
Breathetarianism - the problem with this is that it is not based on the breath. There are many saints throughout history who have survived without food. Theresa Neumann for instance was a Christian Saint in Germany who didn't eat, and there are many many Yogis who lives on prana. But they did it by very advanced meditation practices, not just by breathing deeply, lol.
Human beings do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes out of the mouth of the One Infinite Creator.
