Funny, I always thought that this was a "normal" diet...

To serve a meat dish with 2 or 3 sides of veggies or
sometimes canned or fresh fruit.

It's how I have always eaten, and with stir fry's, there are
one or two different meats, and at least 3, sometimes 4
different types of veggies.

Wierd!

The only thing I make it a point to avoid most of the time
are starches and refined sugars.

It's just a weasel-word for "semi-vegetarian", which is in
itself a weasel-word for "would like to be a vegetarian but
can't give up meat".

themselves any kind of vegetarian, but this way I guess they
don't have to)

Hmmm. Interesting thought! I haven't associated the two

relationship to flexitarians other than they are trendy.

fashion's sake, no other reason... but people who eat less
meat do it for a number of reasons: it could be advancing
age which means less ability to digest meat, perhaps they
were raised in vegetarian(ish) households, or it maybe they
are eating less meat as a matter of conscience or protest.

Practice safe eating - always use condiments

Or someone simply cutting back on their meat intake.

Right, not just 'diner style' with meat, potatoes and a
single steamed/boiled veg.

I agree! We eat vegetarian meals quite regularly, at least
6-8 times a week (lunch and dinner), not because of health
or ethical concerns but just because there are so many
delicious meals that contain no meat (which to me means
anything from a clam to a roast beef). I believe the old-
fashioned term for this is "omnivore." This idea that you
can be a "part time vegetarian" is so silly.

I found it comical that there had to be a name assigned this
eating preference in the first place.

I'm a carnivore; I eat eggs whether or not they came from
free-range chickens; I eat chicken and don't care if they
ran free; I eat beef, pork, lamb, veal... all kinds of
seafood and freshwater fish.

I also love veggies, all sorts of squashes, spinach, greens,
etc. I had cornbread with turnip greens last night for
dinner... that's a real "country" Southern dinner 🙂 But
please, let me have meat. Must have.

A few years ago, I was hiking with a friend. We stopped on
the trail and he saw what I had for lunch. He asked if I was
a macrobiotic. I told him I don't even know what a
macrobiotic is, this is just the way I eat.

Oops, somehow the last message got posted without my meaning
to. (I moved my mouse, something clicked, and off it went
into cyberspace.) As I was saying, that's just how I eat.
Some meat and lots of veggies. My diet sounds just about
like everyone else who has posted on this subject. But
welcome to the 2,000's: Put a label on it and try to figure
out how to make money from it. I'm guessing soon there will
be the flexitarian diet. But you'll have to buy something to
do it "right".

that vegetarians simply don't eat red meat.

"Meat" is divided into three distinct categories so they can

Well, this is true. The ones I know eat free-range chicken,
eggs from free-range chickens, fish and seafood... just no
red meat. So what about pork? The "other" white meat? (as
the ads say).

I really want to know how they know the chicken/eggs are free-
range. Anyone can put anything on a label, after all. And
they aren't raising their own, AFAIK. I do work with a guy
who raises chickens and offered to sell me some eggs. "Do
you candle them?" He said "Huh?" Never mind; I don't eat
eggs that often.

Part of that mindset seems to be that fish and chickens are
vegetables.

A good friend of mine doesn't eat any land animals, but eats
all seafood. She and her husband live on a farm and have
horses, pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, rabbits, and ducks.
They're the safest animals in the entire state of TX, as
they'll never be killed for food. My friend and her husband
eat the eggs from the chickens and use the wool from the
sheep and goats for yarn; other than that, they don't derive
any products from the animals.

Here we have a law against such things. If your eggs aren't
free-range, you're not allowed to call them free-range.
