Australia is a neat place — the people are friendly, the weather perfect (its summer here, after all), and the scenery breath taking.
I was at dinner with some parking folks here in Hobart, Tasmania, last night and someone brought up "fruitarians." I had never heard of them, but it appears they eat only fruit and nuts, uncooked. No vegetables, and little water — they get their water from the fruit.
Fair enough — but one fellow added that they only eat fruit that has "fallen from the tree" since cutting it would be an act of murder… I thought that a little strange.
So I looked them up — yep, everything true, but not a word about "murdering fruit."
My guess is that there may be some die hards out there that follow that credo, but they go pretty hungry.
