Description

The subject of this site is fruitarianism - a quest for optimal basic food, presumably fruit, and for the best ethical and maintainable way to live on this planet.

The main thing that unite fruitarians of all kinds is that they consider various fresh ripe edible fruits to be such a good food, that they make them to a main element of their diet, usually from 75% of total caloric intake and up. Normally they complement fruits by seeds, but there are many ways to be a fruitarian - for health, environmental and ethical reasons.

We want to gather all fruitarians in one place. If you are a fruitarian, please, represent yourself here (it would take only few minutes). We also invite non-fruitarian folks to support the site, especially scientists, doctors and philosophers) who have something significant to say on the subject.

Fruitarians.net is an open independent platform: most information is freely reachable for all internet users without any need for registration. We are not selling anything, there is no hidden agenda behind the project, and it is privately funded and maintained by a fruitarian. It is independent from any ideology or religion.

This place is for people who are interested in fruitarianism and who find the subject important enough to express their original or thoughtfully adapted ideas and concepts in a courteous manner, and in a nicely organized environment.

We make no difference between people of various backgrounds, genders, ethnicity, income, body shapes and looks, age, philosophical positions, religious believes, sexual behaviors, origin, nationality, etc. Important are your friendliness and your bright mind.
