Part Time Vegetarians
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
While vegetarianism is on the rise in certain sectors, most notably teenage girls, there’s a new trend emerging for folks who like the idea of eating vegetarian meals but just not all of the time. Dubbed “flexitarians” these folks might choose a vegetarian lunch and eat steak for dinner. Or maybe once or twice a week they’ll have a meatless meal for dinner. Certainly eating more fruits, vegetables and whole grains more often ( the basis for a vegetarian diet) is healthy for everyone. Total vegetarians may argue that these folks don’t fully support their mission to protect animals from being eaten but, at least “flexitarians’” are eating less animal protein. What do you think about being a part time vegetarian?
