Part Time Vegetarians “Flexitarians” On The Rise

Meat eaters who will forgo the hamburger on most days and opt for the pasta with “wheat” balls are on the rise.
According to a new study discussed in The Mirror, record numbers of flexitarians, or people who eat vegetarian sometimes are forming.
Sales of products such as fake meats have doubled over the last decade in the UK, according to the Vegetarian Society.
“The real growth area is in ‘meat reducers’ – those who haven’t given up meat completely but who are making a conscious effort to eat less of it,” said Su Taylor, a spokesperson for the company.
There are different ways to incorporate a part-time vegetarian lifestyle.
Treehugger founder Graham Hill follows a weekday vegetarian plan, while author Mark Bittman recommends a “vegan until 6″ deal.
Still, others eliminate some animal products entirely, like red meat and dairy, replacing them with plant based alternatives.
