Tutti frutti
Some people choose to be vegetarian because they object to the slaughter of animals for meat. Others choose a vegan diet because they object to the farming of animals altogether. But who's looking out for the vegetables?

According to the Fruitarian Foundation (http://www.fruitarian.com), the only way to avoid "violence against all forms of life" is to exclude everything but raw fruit, seeds and nuts from your diet.

For purists such as 52-year-old Queensland farmer Ahimsa Fruitarian, even seeds and nuts are out because they can still give rise to a living plant. "True fruitarians don't eat the living parts of a plant," he says.

Fruitarian eats 20 to 40 oranges a day but admits that his diet isn't strictly fruitarian. He supplements it with yoghurt, skim milk powder and bread dipped in orange juice, but plans to go 100 per cent fruitarian when he establishes his own organic fruit farm.

"It's not sustainable just to eat apples and oranges," he says. "You need to eat high-protein, high-nutrient fruits like dragon fruit." The problem is, most of these fruits are only found in remote parts of the world. "At the moment fruitarianism is in the pioneering stages." - Anne Fawcett

Life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life.

I remember reading in a guinness book a while ago that there was some guy who ate every piece of an airplane.

Apart from some minerals, that was not good for him, and will not promote his long life.

Who cares about long life? The man ate a friggin airplane. How cool is that?

Man, I wish I was that cool.
