Flexitarianism

A flexitarian diet, also called a semi-vegetarian diet, is one that is centered on plant-based foods with limited consumption of meat and other animal products. People who follow a flexitarian diet often reduce their intake of red meat and poultry while increasing consumption of other plant-based food groups such as fruits, vegetables, and grains. People adopt flexitarian diets for a variety of reasons, including health, environmental, ethical, and economic considerations.
