“Flexitarian”(flexible vegetarian) is a term recently coined to describe those who eat a mostly vegetarian diet, but occasionally eat meat as a protein supplement. They’re driven by health benefits more than concerns about animal rights, ethics or the environment. Many people who call themselves "flexitarian" or "semi-vegetarian" have given up red meat for health reasons; while others, for environmental reasons, only eat free-range or organic animals and animal products.
Flexitarian(彈性素食者)是近兩年才出現(xiàn)的一個詞,指那些大部分時間吃素食,偶爾為補充蛋白質(zhì)而攝入一些肉類的素食者。他們這樣選擇的主要出發(fā)點是健康,而不是動物權(quán)益、道德或者環(huán)保等因素。他們有時也被稱為semi-vegetarian(半素食者)。其中很多人都因為健康的原因放棄食用紅肉,另外一些人為了環(huán)保只選擇自由放養(yǎng)或有機培育的動物及其相關(guān)產(chǎn)品。
