I'm not one of those fruitarians who advise people to make fruit an arbitrary percentage of their diet and then the rest, greens, nuts and seeds. Nor am I one of those fruitarians obsessed with calorie counting, and analysing the handful of separately classified scientific elements purportedly microscopically available within each fruit.

There is far too much common nonsense, and not nearly enough uncommon sense about fruit.

Meat is a 4-legged word.

Look a pig in her eyes, and understand the truth behind bacon.

After you have witnessed the reality, you can no longer look at a piece of steak, and simply think "yum".

Fruit is freely given by the plant. It entrusts us with its seed, while surrounding it with the gift of fruit, as prepayment for conscious seed dispersal; the tree trusts us to do the right thing and care for its seeds as best we are able, by at least letting each one have a fighting chance. All too often we ignore this symbiotic pact, and mindlessly dispose of seeds to fates that have no possible future.

Most people just want to be left in peace to eat their bacon, not realising that there is no peace behind bacon.
