fruitarianism
Eating only fruit
Fruitarianism is a dietary practice restricting food intake to fruits, nuts, seeds, and other plant matter that can be harvested without killing the plant.
Adherents cite ethical concerns about harming plants, environmental sustainability, or perceived health benefits.
The diet is considered nutritionally risky by mainstream dietitians due to protein and vitamin deficiencies.
