Tag: Occasional meat eater

According to a 2016 Urban Dictionary post, a flexitarian is defined simply as "an occasional meat eater". This differs from the formal definition, which describes the dietary pattern of a flexible vegetarian who consciously reduces their meat intake while still consuming it occasionally.

According to a 2021 survey, 13% of the UK identifies as flexitarian, a modern term for someone who only eats meat occasionally, prioritizing a plant-based diet while retaining the flexibility to include animal products in moderation. This adaptable eating style has become a popular and sustainable choice for those seeking a balance between vegetarianism and an omnivorous diet.
