Editing Fruitarianism (section)

==Notable adherents==
Some notable advocates of fruitarianism, or of diets which may be considered fruitarian, or of lifestyles including such a diet, are:

*[[Otto Abramowski]], Australian naturopath who lectured on the fruitarian diet.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/74840888 "Death of Dr. Abramowski"]. ''[[The Mildura Cultivator]]'' (December 17, 1910). p. 10</ref>

Quote: "Idi Amin, the tyrannical Ugandan dictator, lived his final years in Saudi Arabia as a fruitarian (his affinity for oranges earned him the nickname "Dr. Jaffa")."</ref>

*[[August Engelhardt]]<ref>[https://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=990CEFDF1438EF32A25756C1A9669D946497D6CF "Failure of a Womanless Eden in the Pacific - Strange Story from the South Seas"], ''The New York Times'', October 15, 1905, "For days he lived alone, eating nothing but bread fruit and cocoanuts," "Of the food of choice, he lacked none.", "Weeks of life under the sun in the salt sea, and living upon fruit, had brought him to a state of wonderful physical perfection.", "For nearly two years more he continued to live the 'pure, natural life' but the charm had been completely broken by the death of his two disciples.", "in 1903, came a drought which reduced the fruit crop. The little left of it was wiped out in the Spring of 1904 by a storm. Engelhardt had the alternative of casting in his lot with the natives and eating on hogflesh, or sending a request for succor to Ulu or Herbertshohe. He did neither in his stubbornness, and starvation and thirst did their work."</ref>

* [[Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi]], better known as Indian political and spiritual leader Mahatma Gandhi, sustained a fruitarian diet for five years.<ref>[[Mahatma Gandhi|Gandhi, Mohandas K.]], Desai, Valji Govindji (trans.){{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20170113224211/http://wikilivres.ca/wiki/Satyagraha_in_South_Africa/Chapter_XXXV._Tolstoy_Farm_III "Tolstoy Farm III"]}} in ''Satyagraha in South Africa ~ XXXV''. Quote: "[D]uring five years of a purely fruitarian life I never felt weak, nor did I suffer from any disease".</ref> He apparently discontinued the diet and went back to [[vegetarianism]] due to [[pleurisy]], a pre-existing condition, after pressure from [[Jivraj Narayan Mehta|Dr. Jivraj Mehta]].<ref>''Autobiography: the story of my experiments with truth'', Social Sciences Series, Mohandas Gandhi, Gandhi (Mahatma), Mahadev Haribhai Desai, Dover, 1983, p. 318.

* [[Ben Klassen]]<ref>''Salubrious Living'' (Creativity Book Publishers, 1982, and World Church of Creativity, 2003), chapter 'The Fruitarian Diet': "The fruitarian diet is composed of the products of the plant kingdom which are delicious and appealing to our taste in their natural uncooked condition. As fruits, vegetables and nuts are the foods which meet this qualification in an ideal manner they are the primary foods used by the fruitarian."</ref>
*Author [[Morris Krok]], who earlier in his life lived "only on fruits",<ref>[[Morris Krok|Krok, Morris]] (1961) ''Fruit: The Food and Medicine For Man'', Connecticut: O'Mangod Press. p.17, Chapter 8: Quote: "It had taken me almost ten years of continual reading and meditation before I had the courage to live only on fruits."; p.40, Chapter 19: Quote: "At the time of the incident I was living on all fruit."; p.46, Chapter 21. Quote: "After living on fruit for about four months, raw vegetables tasted flat."</ref> allegedly advised against a diet of "only fruit",<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.beyondveg.com/billings-t/bio/billings-t-bio-1b.shtml|title=Tom Billings: dietary bio--continued, Part B, section, Other Important Lessons, August 2000<!-- Bot generated title -->}}"By the way, Morris Krok now advises against a diet of only fruit, and he is an open, honest, and very nice person."</ref> although it was subsequently reported that Krok's diet consisted of "just fruit",<ref>Klein, David (2007) [http://www.vibranthealthandwealth.com/vibrance/articles/krok.html "Who Was Morris Krok?"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717195159/http://www.vibranthealthandwealth.com/vibrance/articles/krok.html |date=July 17, 2011 }} ''Living Nutrition'' Quote: "Someone who attended the talk reported he said that at the moment he was eating a diet of just fruit. I’d never heard that he ate exclusively fruit; however, it would not be surprising if he did so for varying periods of time."</ref> with dietary practices of fruitarians as varied as definitions of the term "fruitarianism".
