Flexi-WHA?!?!?!

Ummm, why do we need a new word for this? Wouldn't they just be omnivores?

Even after five years, Christy Pugh has no trouble sticking to her vegetarian regimen.

The secret to her success? Eating meat.

Sometimes I feel like I’m a bad vegetarian, that I’m not strict enough or good enough, the 28-year-old bookkeeper from Concord said recently. I really like vegetarian food but I’m just not 100 percent committed.

Pugh is one of a growing number of part-time vegetarians whose loose adherence to the meat-free diet is transforming a decades-old movement and the industry that feeds it.

A quote made by a guy I know on a message board: Calling yourself a flexitarian because you REALLY like sausage is akin to saying one is a flexi-celibate because he/she only sleeps with really cute women/men.

This whole thing is just ridiculous.
