Fruitarian...?

Question

Firstly, what is the definition of it? Do they just eat fruit and that is it? And secondaly, why do people become fruitarian? Do they believe that vegetables feel pain or something like that. I am confused lol. (Hope I do not sound critacle here, I am a vegetarian myself)

Answer 1

A fruitarian is someone who eats fruits only. They say it's really healthy and sweet when all the other foods are nasty and bitter. (its their opinion i guess)

But they become fruitarians for environmental reasons.

Also, they say when you become fruitarian, you have a better looking appearance in hair, nails, skin, and body shape.. stuff like that.

Also, they want plants to spread and implant their seeds.

Here are sites that will explain everything :)

Answer 2

They only eat fruit you eat that won't die if you eat the whole thing.  Like appels are OK because you pick them off the tree, but say a head of cabbage isn't because the whole plant dies.

It's like SUPER peaceful way of living.

Answer 3

They don't believe in killing a plant to get food.

Examples:

You kill a plant to get: potatoes, carrots, beats, onions, etc.

You don't kill a plant to get: tomatoes, apples oranges, grains beans and nuts, etc.

Answer 4

Well, I'm not sure either... I have always wondered the same thing, but vegetarians do not just eat veggies right? So they probably eat other things too... your body can't survive on fruit alone... you need protein, whole grains, and healthy fats, and fruit does not have that... fruit should be incorporated with a healthy diet....  People probably do it for the reason we are vegetarian.

Answer 5

i think it is sometimes a religious thing... like if you were jane (sp?) for example

my sister was telling me all about it the other night
