Jobs was vegan, is that right?

For the most part, but had a soft spot for sushi. I used to work in Infinite Loop and remember when Steve’s favourite sushi restaurant closed so the chef was hired to work in the canteen instead.
He was actually fruititarian, for most of his life.
He had a favorite sushi place in Palo Alto. Maybe a pescaterian?
Fuki?

Ahh the worse diet for the environment.
Seems fitting for Jobs.
That seems counter to my understanding of diets. Do you have any sources about this? I'd like to learn if I've been making misinformed decisions.
Many fish used for sushi, notably bluefin tuna (source of the ootoro tuna belly Jobs apparently loved), are not considered sustainable.

I didn't realize that this was actually real. I love fruit but I feel like all of the sugar would hurt me if it were the only thing that I ate.

Steve had a number of out there beliefs. At one point, before Co-founding Apple, Steve believed his fruit only diet would mean he no longer needed to shower, much to the dismay of his Atari coworkers. He also tried to fix his pancreatic cancer through diet.
I suspect he had many more out there beliefs, but was self aware enough to keep them to his self.

I wonder if that had anything to do with his pancreatic cancer
Likely. It probaby wasn't the only thing though. The high amounts of sugar, weird fasting habits, drug use, extreme stress he put himself in, and his arrogance in ignoring sound medical advice might have all helped do him in from what I gleaned from his biography. His pancreas could only take so much apparently.
I think the actor doing Jobs had some pancreatic problems related to eating like Jobs.
Don't quote me on that, please double check.

Ashton Kutcher landed in hospital after following Steve Jobs's fruitarian diet
https://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/jan/28/ashton-kutcher-...
there are "ethical" fruititarians, because fruits are gifts the plants offer up, but consuming a vegetable is eating the plant itself.
There are a lot of plants that you can eat a little part of, which then grows back, like the leaves on chard or lettuce plants. In our garden the chard plants produced for months.
In commercial farming, it's just cheaper to cut the entire plant off and clear the land for the next crop.
