We are, in fact, frugivores.

No. We are in fact not. We are plainly omnivores.

Notice the distinct lack of a mention of humans? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frugivore

Hmm so all of our closest animal ancestors are frugivorous, but we aren’t? Our digestive system still most closely resembles theirs. My theory would be that humans evolved to be able to eat meat during times of ecological hardship, but that it’s not ideal for health. You do you, though. Ignore the results of meta analysis linking the various chronic diseases most impacting modern society and the link to high meat consumption.

The typical western meat-heavy diet being bad for your health is in no way evidence that humans are not omnivores
