I think that people are getting a little carried away with breaking things down into different terms. I understand separating out vegetarian and vegan, but do we really need a term for someone who eats meat once a week? I second veganicki’s comment – I’ll keep calling them omnivores.
I think the term “flexitarian” is more appropriately applied to omnis who live with vegetarians/vegans as their SO/OSO. The vast majority of their diet is vegetarian, but they choose to eat meat on occasion.
*rolls eyes* back atcha… flexitarian is like peeps who call themselves ‘vegetarians’ and still eat fish (or chicken, whatever)…
Funny, I thought we already had a name for people who eat vegetarian food, meat and fish…like, say, omnivore?
