It is the most rediculous thing I have ever heard?

I think it's a term for people who eat twist ties, pipe cleaners and Slinkys.

I'd take a pragmatist, realist, new flaky word using flexitarian over a 14 year old girl, "i dont like the taste of meat," fad diet, malnourished, over-privileged, picky eater vegetarian any day.
I am not saying all vegetarians fit that description, i am just saying within the overall meat reduction movement...

This is a fairly new term that has popped up. Personally I think it comes from some people's need to be labeled and apart of some sort of group.
The term is ridiculous and doesn't make sense. Technically a "flexatarian" is the way that omnivores should be taking in meat and do not. It would be like a person that limits junk food(how everyone should), calling themselves a special name.

it is like rectangles and squares. All vegans are vegetarians, yet no longer all vegetarians are vegans. the two vegetarians and vegans do no longer consume meat, for this reason the stem "veg" for vegetable. Vegans no longer purely do no longer consume meat, yet they have not got dairy products. No butter, no milk, cream, no eggs the two. it is lots stricter. additionally, there is vegan clothing, vegan footwear (no leather-based), vegan products (one hundred% organic and organic shampoo, for ex.) some vegetarians consume fish, too. So relatively, vegan is time-honored a enhanced version of how of existence.

I AGREE!
now watch the thumbs down i'll get!
I will always thumbs down a certain someone for their source though. Always the same.
I think the term flexitarian is just a waste and is pointless to attach it to vegetarian or vegan. You either are a veg, or vegan, or are not. Its pretty simple. Once you make the switch, you won't just go back to eating meat once in a while. You would choose to not be veg anymore.
This term really gets me going.....

Flexitarian Vegetarians are on the increase in modern society, and accepted by the ancient vegetarian cultures as vegetarians. More vegetarians world-wide are flexitarians rather than the strict vegetarians that you find on this forum who know little about the outside world.

they just made it up. When you think about it, it doesn't mean anything because it would be anyone not dedicated to a vegetarian diet which covers all meateaters that eat onion rings or potato chips and french fries. For your question, I think it just came up these past few weeks.
