PETA is an organization, not an individual, so I don't think regardless of your diet PETA could hate you. As far as a general consensus, members of PETA would be happy to hear you are making an effort to restrict animals from your diet and would encourage you to take that further.
And to the two that said PETA doesn't want you to have pets: Where in the heck are you getting this from??? I live right by the headquarters here in Norfolk. A lot of PETA workers have pets. In fact everyone I know that works there has pets.
As long as you can properly care for your animal companions, what's the problem?

A flexitarian is a silly made up word for an omnivore. An omnivore by defination is one who eats meat and plant food and a "flextarian" does exactly that. It does not matter how often or how much...you are still an omnivore.

I've always taken the word flexitarian to mean
meat reducer. I don't think any reasonable
PETA member or vegan can hate you for that.
Afterall, most of us vegans had to start somewhere.
Very few changed overnight.

Well, "flexitarian" is a synonym for "omnivore" so no, they might not like you. But that's PETA for you.
Also, first person to say "people eating tasty animals" gets punched in the face.

PETA is irrelevant to the question of what diet is reasonable. Actually PETA is just another donation organization claiming to be animal rights, when really they are animal welfare.
The ones hating you for a pseudo-vegetarian (flexitarian) diet are those who die for it. Those that die are the ones your focus should be. Animals get killed for meat, milk and eggs.
And to respond to someone else in the thread who thinks rejecting foods containing eggs is anal, what if that cake contained human ovaries - which are our eggs...

That's absurd! Even if they did, it's really not important what they think. If you are making even small changes to your diet, you are doing your positive bit for the world in your own way, no one can hate you for that. If they do they are extremists, and I definitely wouldn't take anything they said to heart. You deserve respect for making a step in the right direction!

Honestly, it's just PETA, why does everyone have a big concern about how they feel about things? I mean unless you are an active member, I don't think you should worry about how they feel.
Besides if you are happy and secure in your choices when it comes to your diet, then don't worry about it.

I don't know about PETA but I get quite annoyed with anyone that uses terms like that!
Terms like that only serve to create more confusion amongst the general omnivorous population as to what a vegetarian is. Please use the correct term omnivore!
