: im not one either but i know that they dont eat vegtables only fruit and nuts. The way they see it is that to take a vegtable is to take a life, (Umm fair enough) Surely then to eat fruit is abortion as fruit contains the seeds( Non scientificly)

John replies:
No. The fruit tree is using the frugivorous primate species to disperse its seeds. The seeds often remain intact and undigested through the gut and are deposited in a nutritious pile of dung.

Although cultured fruitarians often waste the seed by not depositing it on fertile soil, the fruit tree is still preserved by keeping some seeds for new trees.

Fruitarians preserve trees and eat only the part of plants intended to be eaten. That is good ecology and very healthy.
