“Think of a nectarine, what we eat is the precious, sweet, nectar flesh that surrounds the stone/seed of the plant. The seed is clearly separate from the flesh. The flesh is the thing that is, so to say, given karmically freely. Think of a melon, what we eat is the deliciously tasting flesh of the melon. Not the seeds in the centre which generally get left out of the digestive experience. (Yes, I'm aware that some cultures roast them, but fresh out of the fruit they are none too appealing in my eyes). Think of a papaya, we eat the life giving, juicy, vibrantly colourful, sweet flesh of the papaya. the small black seeds get released back into nature. Or should. Think of an apple. The flesh is savoured, the core, discarded. I could continue ad infinitum.” SeedsKarmaNectarFruitarianEden FruitarianFruitarianismNectarinesPapayaMelon Book:Destination Eden - Eden Fruitarianism Explained Source: Destination Eden - Eden Fruitarianism Explained

“The raw fruits of the earth were made for human sustenance. Even the white tails of rabbits, according to some theologians, have a purpose, namely to make it easier for sportsmen to shoot them. There are, it is true, some inconveniences: lions and tigers are too fierce, the summer is too hot, and the winter too cold. But these things only began after Adam ate the apple; I before that, all animals were vegetarians, and the season was always spring. If only Adam had been content with peaches and nectarines, grapes and pears and pineapples, these blessings would still be ours.” IfsHumansMadeStillsEarthPurposeWhiteAnimalColdEasierBlessingSummerSpringSeasonsHotFruitWinterApplesVegetarianLionsAdamFierceTailsTigersTheologianRabbitsGrapesInconveniencePeachesSustenancePearsSportsmanPineapplesNectarines Author:Bertrand Russell
