I’ve been experimenting with a 75/25 split between meat and beer. Cutting out all that excess fiber, roughage and vitamins. I think this style of eating is very efficient and it helps you get a lot of sleep.

@gansie

I understand the conscious choices made by ‘flexitarians,’ but what makes them different from people who choose to skip breakfast? Or people who choose to only eat carbs on weekends? Or people who will only permit themselves to go to Wendy’s when they’re drunk?

We are all ominvores. Any limitations we place on ourselves that are not medically necessary are personal choices. My point is simply that we all make these choices, some of which take on the status of full-blown dietary codes for many of us.

I just don’t see why flexitarians give themselves a special name for doing the same thing. Not eating meat on Mondays or only eating vegetables at lunch doesn’t reach a level that warrants its own name.

@joehoya
i think flexitarians are more than just eaters. they have decided that they won’t eat whatever they want, whenever they want. they will make an effort to balance their diets with meatless meals and i think that is truly commendable.
