There are flexitarians, who eat a little bit of meat, and pescatarians, who
skip meat but consume seafood. Raw foodists don't believe in cooking. And now
come the nutritarians. Central to nutritarianism is the understanding that
fruits and vegetables contain thousands of vitamins, minerals and
phytochemicals — substances they believe are not found in any other food
source.

eat a rainbow," The Denver Post, June 7, 2010

Wow, that nutritarian thing terrifies me. Sounds like a fabulous way
to take all joy out of eating.
