You should tell him about all of the "unhealthy" fruits and vegetables out there.

Watermelon has a GI value of 72 (don't explain glycemic load to him)
An average medium size avocado has over 30g of fat (don't explain what a good fat is)
Cooked carrots have a higher GI value
Most fruit juices are full of sugar
Tomatoes have salmonella on them
Show him this article

They use so many chemicals and shit when they grow vegetables. The term "organic" just means that you'll pay more for something that's still not organic. It's just slightly more organic than the other fruits & veggies that are...not organic? The GH deal is just as bad as the chemicals used on vegetables and fruits.

I had a vegan roommate my freshman year of college. One day when I was drinking a soda, he told me that some of the chemicals used in the very soda I was drinking were delivered to the Coca Cola plant in one of the trucks marked with a bio hazard label. He told me that he thought it was disgusting that I was drinking that. I looked over and he was eating a tomato. It was December. I explained that tomatoes don't grow naturally in the middle of winter, and that his were grown via hydroponics...in other words, lots of chemicals and probably some pesticides. He apologized and threw his tomato in the trash can. I had him eating eggs and fish by the end of the year.
