The other day I told my sister, Jackie, that I was an unofficial vegetarian. Basically I meant that while I don’t usually eat very much meat, I am not opposed to it completely. Today I discovered a new term to describe my situation. I am a flexitarian.
flexitarian
(fleks.uh.TAYR.ee.un) n. A person who eats a mostly vegetarian diet, but who is also willing to eat meat or fish occasionally. —adj. (Flexible + vegetarian.)
