Fruitarianism

http://www.fruitarian.com/

I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts on this. I'd love to become one, but not now while I'm 16, maybe later in my life provided I'm still alive, say around, 80. :cool:

I don't think I'll become a fruitarian in the near future.
For one thing, I love lamb too damn much :p:

Wouldn't mind trying it out as a detox, but although the website in the OP says that you can live on fruit and nuts alone, I honestly wouldn't want to :biggrin:

Chicken is something I just couldn't live without :love:

Yeah seriously I get cravings for meat a lot, so it really wouldn't work out long term. I could live on meat substitutes for a while though like quorn, but not for long.

They only eat groovy jam, made from fruit that agreed to be in the jam in the first place.

What is it where people will only eat things that don't cast a shadow? I remember reading about it when i did GCSE food tech, but can't remember what it's called.

And being a former vegetarian, i reckon it would be ok for a while. but the cravings for meat start after a couple of years...

With frutarianism, I don't believe it would be a craving for meat but a crawing for dairy and other products... no Quorn on a Fruitarian diet!

Hang on, isn't this the one where you only eat fruit/veg that has fallen from the tree/plant it grows from?

So, how are you going to know if the fruit/veg has been picked or not? And why are we worrying about the welfare of vegetables! Courgettes have feelings too :rolleyes:

EDIT: Ah, according to Wiki the above is for some fruitarians only. In a general sense fruitarians just eat raw fruit and veg. Which would give you the squits?

BTW the www.fruitarian.com site has so much bold underlined italic text it made me want to scream!

I reckon this is the logical progression that moralistic vegetarians should reach. Why stop with animals? Seems sensible to me, if you take that stance. I just don't mind having animals killed so I can eat them. :smile:
