Sustainability and Social Implications

Many people just try to eat a high-fruit diet composed of 50-75 percent fruit. The rest of the diet contains vegetables, including beans for protein because of long term sustainability problems of a fruitarian diet.


It is difficult to follow the fruitarian diet for a long duration and make it a way of life. Because of reasons like social isolation, frequent hunger, psychological problems and others, many people just try to eat a high-fruit diet composed of 50-75 percent fruit. The rest of the diet contains vegetables, including beans for protein.

There are various social concerns associated with a fruitarian diet like animal rights, spiritualism, and meditation.

If keen on adapting the diet, an individual needs to consider how best to interact with family, and adjust so that it does not become a matter of inconvenience and anti-social attitude.
