Default Food Survey: eating habits

Greetings!

I am a researcher doing a survey and study on people's eating habits.
There's been a lot of mention in the news recently about a new word:
'Flexitarian'. It's basically defined by someone who is mostly a
vegetarian but still eats a small amount of meat or fish. The survey
is attempting to determine if the trend towards a more healthy diet is
actually occuring despite hearing about growing obesity around the
world.

The flexitarian nutrition survey is located here.
http://www.flexitarian.ca/survey.html

No personal information will be requested whatsoever from you. ie.
name, address, city, phone, etc.

Thanks to everyone who participates in the survey and helps with my
research!

Eric

Based on the survey web site, it doesn't appear that way; you appear to be a
sponsored flak for an interest group.

The survey, brief as it is, is so full of undefined terms and inadequate
response choices, as well as a prejudiced presumption favoring a low-meat diet,
that one can easily presume that you aren't seriously interested in analyzing
information but are assembling a mailing list to market something.

Do flexitarians (not heard that term before. People from the planet Flexi
perhaps?) eat Spam?

Flexitarians?!? For the love of crap!!

Not Flexivores? Not Omnitarians? Herbitarians? "Herbies" for short?

How about Flexiphiles?

In other words, you're talking about sluggish utility vehicle-bound Boomers
whose overreaching concern with appearing to deserve to live forever drives
them to fend off old GR by forcing pre-packaged freeze-dried take-out
ready-in-20-seconds health food into their 20 hours/day, six and a half
days/week work lives before they fall asleep in front of the television, but
who don't want to God forbid actually "give up" something, aren't you?

Oh well. As long as you can eat it while driving, it doesn't really matter
what it's made of, eh?
