Flexaterian?

Question

This is a new name for people who have tried to become a vegaterian, but get that craving for meat once and a while. So they only eat it on occasion. Which is like totally my situation. Am I a "flexaterian"? What do you think of the term?

*vegeterian

Grrr I spelled it wrong again lol.

*Vegetarian

I hope that's right!!

Answer 1

I didn't realize there was a new term for it. I'm totally like you, and I've always called myself either "quasi-vegetarian" or "semi-vegetarian". People usually get my drift. It's nothing about the animals, I just don't like gnawing on slabs of meat. I'd rather have the veggies and grains and beans.

Answer 2

Your last spelling was correct.

I also don't like this term, nor do I like the term "quasi vegetarian" or "semi-vegetarian.". It implies that such person practices vegetarianism, when in fact they do not. A vegetarian is one who abstains from consuming flesh, period. Either you are or you're not. There is no such thing as "semi veg" because they're not veg at all.

I'm American, but can I call myself semi-Chinese if I like their cuisine and culture and some of my friends' parents are from China, and I reeeeaaaallllyyy wanna fit in with them? Hell no I can't, I'm personally not of Chinese descent, what a stupid thing to say! Anyone eating flesh is not veg, pure and simple. That goes for seafood as well, because fish is flesh.

No one is "semi-pregnant" are they?

"Flexaterian" is a wannabe-veggie way of saying Omnivore.

Answer 3

I dont think we need to hold so much stock in labels. If eating meat now and again works for you, then do what you must. I personally no longer see meat as necessary or sanitary, but I believe each person has the right to choose what they want to eat. If this way of life is working for you, then dont try to live up to someone elses standards.

Answer 4

no u r not a flexaterian if u cook meat at home
so the exact meaning for it is :
Flexitarianism is the practice of eating mainly vegetarian food. Flexitarians prefer to eat vegetarian food, but make occasional exceptions for social, pragmatic, or nutritional reasons. They will eat meat and other animal products sometimes. For example, a flexitarian might make only vegetarian dishes at home, but eat dishes including meat at the home of family or friends.

It is good to be a Flexaterian :)

Answer 5

it vegetarian btw... flexaterian i a person who tries not to eat meat very often but it should be classified below vegetarianism

Answer 6

I have heard of the term before, and I really don't like it.
Vegetarianism is more of a way of life... It is something that you commit to, and I don't think that people should just call themselves vegetarian(or "flexatarian") when they are not committed to it at all. It's just not fair to the people that call themselves vegetarians and actually commit to it by not eating meat.

Answer 7

Being a flexetarian is the new vegetarian. Now it's trendier (apparently) to only eat some lean meats along with a mostly veggie diet. Personally, I think it's a good way to go. It's healthy, balanced, and compatible with most lifestyles - I mean, what more could you want?

Answer 8

never heard of the term but why label yourself you eat what you eat why do you want a title it don't matter, only to you. people become veggie eaters because of harm to animals and so forth, if you like it eat it i,f Jesus ate it so will i

Answer 9

Omnivore is the correct term..

Answer 10

It's another way of saying picky and indecisive.
