I too was flex for a couple years before I decided that meat and cheese and such had just become downright unnecessary. And you're right, there is a world of difference between a classic meat-eater and a flex.<br /><br />Last night I was out with my boyfriend and three of his friends, and they were thinking up places to eat - pizza, Mexican, a diner - but kept looking at me and saying "Oh, but there's nothing you can get there." I beg to differ! No-cheese veggie-loaded pizza, cheeseless black bean enchiladas with rice, chips, and salsa, or a grilled veggie wrap with fries or potatoes - easy! It's been awhile since I was asked "So what do you EAT, then?" and it always takes me aback. People tend to eat the same 4-5 meats, plus milk (1 item) and cheese (1 item). And on my plate are potentially HUNDREDS of varieties of vegetables, fruits, seeds, legumes, nuts, grains, etc. And they wonder what <i>I</i> eat?! I don't get it!<br /><br />Sorry for the novel... :]Chef Amber Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751332126011127621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4687776592874226381.post-33758325351568522752010-05-05T11:50:54.896-07:002010-05-05T11:50:54.896-07:00Well I actually was a flexitarian for two years be...Well I actually was a flexitarian for two years before I went vegetarian. I feel that lables are too constricting, but in the case of this it is a perfect definition for someone who is following a different path.
