I have composed 55  fruitarian questions in 5 sections: Introduction (10), Ethics (30), Lifestyle (5), Diet (5), Conclusions (5). Most of them are just ethical questions, not the ethical dilemmas - I tend to find those a bit too artificial and restrictive. Some questions are hard (for me anyway).

My goal is to gather answers to the same questions from various interesting people, so we all could learn about different perspectives on these topics and gather ideas for our own development and an open discussion.

If you would like to participate, please follow instructions below the questions.
