What is the logic behind going fruitarian? Just curious.

Eating fruit doesn't kill any plants.
Plants produce tasty fruit as a part of their reproduction. Animals eat the fruit, digest it (except for the seeds) and then the seeds get deposited in freshly fertilized soil to help grow a new fruit plant.

I first heard of this when I visited the PETA site. (Umm...that's the 'people eating tasty animals' one.) They answered mails critical of their position (which defended being a carnivore), and these mails were answered on the site. One asked a vegetarian, "How do you know plants don't have feelings? They've hooked them up to lie detectors and got results." This was responded to by someone who said, "That's why I'm a fruitarian. We don't eat the body of the plant, only the fruits." I think that's taking it to an extreme and I don't know how you can survive without adding nuts and seeds (like beans, and all grains) to your diet, in which case you're eating the plant's babies.

You are only eating the part of the plant that it wants you to eat.

No, the proper word is vegetarian. Because of the proper of eating friuts and plants as well is a kind of nutrize the body . But a fruitarian is person only eats friuts? No, because some friuts have no nutrition like other foods can.
