Flexitarians

6 Aug 2010

I heard this term a few weeks ago and to be honest almost wet myself laughing. A flexitarian is a person who avoids but occasionally eats meat. Now Im not knocking the choice but do we really need a lable for it??? Especially such a lame one as flexitarian.
How many times have you heard 'Im a vegitarian but i eat fish'? Well now when you hear it you can say 'No, you're a flexitarian!' See if they look baffled.
It's nothing to do with being bendy at all!

String up the flexitarians along with the fish-eating vegetarians!
Charlatans! :twisted:
And, in edit, the bloody "pescatarians" poke

I poke their fishy eyes out with a fishing rod. Giving us proper vegetarians a bad name!

I have also seen the term "pescatarian" for those who eat no meat but eat fish.

Just as ridiculous isn't it - I think they're taking the pesc. lol

People allways tend to feel the need to label them selves and put them selves in boxes to claim a sense of identity, well thats just my opinion anyways.
On a side note, there is a lad in my unit who is a vegetarian. Nothing wrong with that, every one has there own choice but as marine seems slighty odd to be against killing of animals lol

People are vegitarian for a whole number of reasons. But even if it is for ethical reasons its a choice in just one area. Some vegitarians wear leather for example but are pulled up on that as hypocrasy. It isnt. Its just different choices.
