Very true (and well put).
There is a particular sect (Jinas, I think), that will not even eat most vegetation. They will only eat fruit that has an easily removable seed... such as apples... the seed is very carefully taken and planted, so as not to disturb the flow of life or some such.
Your average Hindu tends to hold the Jinas in a mixed awe/contempt. They are considered very holy people, but also... well... extremists.
I've linked below an "online comic" that illustrates it fairly well.
