Has anyone ever heard of the Treetarian diet? Eating only tree products?!
Answers: This would be lots of fruit and nuts, olives, olive oil, what else? Could someone live on just tree foods?
Fruitarianism. Yes, it's possible. The idea is that the entire plant doesn't have to die. It's also a wonderful way to eat fresh unprocessed foods. Most fruitarians are also raw-foodists.
If you think about it, you can also eat broccoli, the part of the plant that flowers, which is the floret commonly consumed! Broccoli and tomatoes don't come from a tree, so I'm sure if you are talking about something else when you say 'only tree products'.
Really, many foods can still be eaten. Root vegetables, such as carrots and beets, cannot be eaten. That would destroy the entire plant. I think some would eat leafs of plants, although it is not a fruit. I would think it's okay to, but consider that when you buy kale at the store the entire plant was often taken out because they were trying to maximize their money. The trick is to grow your own and take a leaf here and there from the plant.
The people eating this way are highly conscious and probably use locally grown organic produce for their meals. It works best in warm climates. They'd probably also be aware of the alkalinity of their food, and would avoid being too acidic.
I would totally wrap up burritos made of crushed nuts, hot peppers, and avocados in a home grown collard green. And then make smoothies out of berries and coconuts! And then I'd make nut-butters as creamy sauces for the broccoli-raisin dish I'd create! YUM!
It sounds like fruitarianism or frugivorism. Yes you can live.
I don't think I could. I guess if you eat trees, then you would poop wooden stools, huh? It just sounds very unpleasant to me.
I never heard of it, but thats a funny name hehe
i think some monks in the east are already doing that!
