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.

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

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".

Miche (who doesn't see how anyone who eats meat can call themselves any
kind of vegetarian, but this way I guess they don't have to)

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.

Hmmm. Interesting thought! I haven't associated the two
concepts before - I'm not sure that metrosexuals have any
relationship to flexitarians other than they are trendy.

Metrosexuals are usually aged 30 or less and do it for
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

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".

ive known quite a few people who called themselves vegetarian, but ate fish.
the prevailing mindset seems to be that vegetarians simply don't eat red
meat.

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.

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

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.

It's a term invented by the industry, not the gubmint. It _can_ mean as
little as the chicks having access to the great outdoors (while being
cooped up in a barn, with the door open) Don't suppose they would park a
mean junkyard dog in the doorway to discourage adventurism....would
they...?

I gagged on some half-brained ones I picked up in bars, at closing time.
