I know this is not a newsgroup for making statements relative to religion but iI 
thought some may find it interesting to know that in the book of Genesis it is
written that when God created man he told him that he shall eat of the *seed-
bearing fruit* of the plants for his food.

Think about it...if we only ate the seed-bearing fruit of plants (which would
include grain heads, seeds, nuts, etc.) - which are destined to be shed from tplants - there would be no destruction of the plant being itself.  I think (I
have done absolutely no research - I'm just guessing) that such a diet, when
controlled properly with knowledge of nutritional compatibilities, could be
nutritionally complete.  The diet could be supplemented, for you lactovegegies,  
by milk and milk products which can also be collected and produced without loss
of life.

Does anyone know of any nutritional gaps in such a diet?
