I've heard of somebody being a fruitarian and....?!
Answers: And they won't eat root vegetables 'cos that involves 'pulling' up the vegetable. When they eat fruit it has to be after it has fell from the tree/bush. It cannot be 'picked'. Is this true? Are some people this extreme?
hmm i never heard about the whole thing about the fruit falling from the tree but the veggie thing is true....
here is some info
The fruitarian diet consists of RAW fruit and seeds ONLY!
Examples of fruits are: Pineapple, mango, banana, avocado, apple, melon, orange, etc., all kinds of berries, and the vegetable fruits such as tomato, cucumber, olives; and dried fruits such as nuts, hazelnuts, cashews, chestnuts, etc.. And seeds including sprouted seeds.
Of all food stuff that human beings can eat, fruit is the most delicious to our taste, has the most pleasurable smell and the most beautiful shape with so many lively colors. Fruit is the only food stuff that can completely satisfy humans…everything else is incomplete…
The Fruitarian lifestyle includes avoiding all cooked food and consider it non healthy for the individual and pollutant to the environment, causing unbalanced nutrition, all kinds of disease, mood swings, cravings for synthetic nutrients and chemicals, decrease of vitality, loss of external beauty and loss of inner happiness, depreciation for life and lack of wisdom. All of these consequences we can identify very well in modern civilized societies!
Probably yes.... but then, if they waited for an animal to keel over and die of natural causes, surely that would be ok too? then they could have meat too! Bonus!
