Getting down to it

As mentioned I have made the transition to fruitarianism. Quite easily I must add. Even though with my current mindset it's irrelevant to state on the simplicity of the new found habits I have acquired. Though I'm not fully committed at the moment to Eden fruitarianism (coined by Mango Wodzak), I must say that that is my next goal. I seriously want to cut out nuts and oils.

But let's get real, there are some that say you can even eat veggies, and still label yourself fruitarian, which I think is quite absurd and backwards thinking. Fruits are fruits, and veggies, well they stay veggies. Right?

Which brings me to the next point. What is a fruit? As in, some get really technical and say that eggplant (aubergine) is a fruit. But you have to cook it to be able to eat it right? If your goal is to be raw, then well you cannot eat it, bummer! Also the issue with tomatoes. Some label them as veggies, while others label them as fruits. All of the info out there is quite confusing. What can a fruitarian do? I surely need the official encyclopedia on fruits, if there is one out there. A list and description on fruits in general.

Also, another point, agriculture in its global sense has limits as to what is natural and what is not. Mono-crops certainly aren't natural (vast spaces of land cultivated for one single purpose, and all else should stay out!), even if the crops are natural in a sense. Get what I mean?

The transportation of fruits around the world, has increased the options available (yeah a consumerist capitalist notion I know) at the stores and markets, but surely it's more important to be a locavore fruitarian than anything else. Can we truly sustain our lives and environments this current way? I doubt it.

Enough with the contradictions! More fundamentalism!
