. . . will "strict" vegetarians and vegans be able to contribute anything to anyone? If so, what do you think that will be?

It is quite true that throughout human history ... there are countless examples . . . that those who are rigid and don't change disappear without a whimper. It's a fact that cannot be denied. I've also blocked the two cows who didn't answer the question as well as reported one for being insulting. Constructive dissent is welcome rather than rants.

UNNA brings up an excellent point re: recipes. Yes, I think that their creativity in finding new and novel ways to make the limitation "tasty" is a big contribution.

Well Flexi Vegan ... it is comiing to pass, isn't it? I mean it is self-evident that there are more flexitarian vegans and flexitarian vegetarians right at this moment and they are increasing in numbers. And when you count in all those cultures that are not "strict" vegetarians the number is overwhelming. Perhaps, the "strict" veggers time has past already.

The key to that label is "flex" as in flexible to change, flexible to dissenting opinion. flexible to logic, flexible to diversity of cultures, flexible to different foods, adaptive..... History has proven over and over again the those who adapt, those who are flexible in their thinking are those that survive.

I grew up as a strict lacto-ovo vegetarian. These days I am willing to taste a bite or two of meat at restaurants or at someone's home, for politeness or for curiosity, but I do not buy meat at grocery stores or treat it as a meal--it is just a taste. I end up eating a bite of meat maybe 6 or 7 times a year. So far I find most of it pretty bad tasting. Chicken and beef have a funky taste, sort of like armpit! Fish tastes... fishy. And this is even at nice restaurants.
I appreciate the existence of strict vegans even though I have never been vegan, because a wealth of tasty vegan recipes have come from that lifestyle.

nicely, Ms. Tracie, seems such as you have 1000's of "squatters" right here. Like your pastime, Ms. I save on with "chicken". even nevertheless, I did have beef as quickly as this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, and that became at a charity ribfest I subsidized for inner-city little ones. could no longer no longer consume ribs with them. Seafood is my prominent and truly some the time, i'm able to reap my own from my "front backyard". i'm not sure what's the "healthiest" meat to contain in a flexitarian weight-help plan, i think of the point is "moderation" and stability and to verify that the main component of the burden-help plan is often plant-life.

Strict veggies are going to be a thing of the past. Their unwillingness to accept change is going to set them back years. The ones that deny flexitarianism in this forum are proof of that.

As far as I'm concerned, 'fexatarians' are known by another name, hypocrite.
Just like there is no way to be 'an occasional murderer,' you can't be a partial vegetarian/vegan. Either you make the commitment or not.
Being a vegetarian/vegan to me is more about personal choice based on a concern for the planet. If the world changes for the better, especially with the growing interest for actually taking care of the environment instead of obliterating it, all the better. Even if it doesn't, I know it has made my own life better, even just for me.

There is no such thing as a flexitarian either you eat animals or you don't! If you eat animals you are a meat eater plain and simple stop fooling yourself. Just because someone makes up a title and you use it doesn't make it so and it doesn't make you knowledgeable either.

I think "flex" vegans and vegetarians are actually omnivores, just like the trolls who ask questions about them.
