果食主義

果食主義（英語：Fruitarianism）是素食主義或純素主義的一種，主張植物同樣具有不可踐踏的生命，因此主義實踐者只吃植物的果實。果食主義中關於果的定義來自於植物學而非日常用語，也就是說黃瓜、茄子、蕃茄、辣椒等通常不歸類於水果的植物學果實是可以食用的。基於各種理由人們選擇採取果食主義，包括道德、宗教、環保、文化與健康等等。有些人的當飲食超過75%都是由果實組成便自稱為果食主義者。^[1]

有些果食主義者只吃會從植物上自然掉落的食物，也就是不用傷害植物就能收割的食物^[2]^[3]^[4] ，這些食物主要包括水果、堅果與種子^[5]。根據作者Adam Gollner，有些果食主義者只吃已經掉落的果實 ^[6] 。也有一些不吃穀物的人，他們相信這是不自然的作法 ^[7]。有些人則認為不應食用會長成植物^[6]、堅果、種子^[8]及水果之前的一切植物的種子^[9] ^[10] 。還有人相信應該只吃會在被吃掉後散播種子的植物^[11]。一些果食主義者採用植物學的定義食用包括豆科植物在內的果實。也有包括生果、果乾、蜂蜜、橄欖油在內^[12]，或食用水果、堅果、種子及巧克力的人^[13]。

一些果食主義者為猶太基督徒，根據創世紀第一章二十九節，他們認為果食主義是亞當與夏娃，也就是人類最初的飲食模式。同時他們也相信若要回歸一個伊甸園般的樂園，將需要簡單的生活與一個完全接納健康與飲食的方法。^[14]有些果食主義者(如耆那教徒)則希望避免殺害包括植物在內的任何生命，而被稱為不害的果食主義者。^[15]有些果食主義者主張吃植物的果食實際上是幫了它們一個大忙，因為有肉質的果食是演化成適合被動物所食用，藉此得以繁衍後代。

生物學研究

在1979年，一名約翰·霍普金斯大學的古人類學家亞倫‧渥克教授(Professor Allen Walker)回報了一項關於原始人類牙齒琺琅質的初步研究，他發現人類祖先的飲食主要來自於果實。這項發現令他感到非常驚訝。^[16]

臨床研究

於1971年，一項由B. J. Meyer所主導的短期研究被發表在南非醫學期刊(South African Medical Journal)上^[17]。內容提到純果食者其體內的血脂與葡萄糖耐受度都有所進步^[18]。根據該研究中更進一步的試驗，對於一些過重的試驗者在嘗試果食法之後，其理想體重有下降的趨勢。^[19]

一些知名的果食主義鼓吹者，或其飲食習慣被認為是果食主義者包括以下人物：

伊迪·阿敏，烏干達的軍事獨裁者，他在流亡到沙烏地阿拉伯的期間成為了一名果食主義者。^[20]
莫罕達斯·卡拉姆昌德·甘地，更為人知的是他身為印度政治與靈性導師聖雄甘地的這個名字，他持續了果食主義超過了五年以上。^[21] 然而他之後因為肋膜炎，在醫生的強迫下停止了這樣的飲食模式回歸素食主義。^[22]^[23]
本·克拉森（英語：Ben Klassen），白人種族至上主義者，是創意運動的創辦人。^[24] 他鼓吹純果實飲食應包含水果、蔬菜和堅果。^[25]
史提夫·賈伯斯，他將自己的公司命名為"蘋果公司"就是因為當時他正在實驗性地嘗試果食主義。^[26]
