Fruitarianism

You probably already know what veganism is and most likely already know a vegan. They don’t consume anything containing animal products and are also either good at playing devil sticks or hacky sack. Some of them are also angry. These things I know to be true.A frugivore diet consists almost entirely of fruit (75% or more of daily intake) and is supplemented by small quantities of nuts seeds and, sometimes, vitamin injections to round out the diet.

There are a variety of reasons to go frugivore; health, ethics, religion as well as cultural and economic factors all play into someone living on a fruit-based diet. Whether or not this diet can be done safely depends on whom you ask. Some will name a host of concerns ranging from high sugar intake to lack of protein and B12. Those who support being a frugivore will tell you most of our health education has been corrupted by the major dairy, grain and protein farming industries and that a fruit based diet is the way to go. Researching a diet will help you make an informed decision that is healthy and works for you.
