Hey Flexitarians - Something is Better than Nothing

Friday, September 11, 2009

I am coming across droves of people who label themselves as Flexitarian.  They try to follow a mostly vegetarian diet but occassionally eat meat.  There is no specific pattern to their eating habits or diet.  There is also no real inclusion or exclusion criteria to the kinds if meat they eat.  Some of them limit the number of meals with meat every week.  Others limit the type of meat they eat.

I am always happy to see anyone making an attempt to get on a vegetarian diet.  So Flexitarians, here's hoping to see more and more of you slowly become completely vegetarian.  So, whether it is health reasons, environmental reasons, avoiding cruelty to animals, reducing your carbon footprint, religious reasons, whatever be the case, any step you take towards becoming a vegetarian eventually is great.

I would be curious to know from Flexitarians that read this article, what are your reasons.  I have been a vegetarian all my life and it is difficult for me to imagine being anything else.
