Sept 9 What is flexitarian

What is flexitarian?
Take Away English｜BBC Learning English

A flexitarian diet involves eating plant-based foods and only occasionally eating meat and fish. You might think this is a halfway house to being a vegetarian by not completely abstaining from meat. But if vegetarianism is hard to swallow and you fancy chomping on the occasional lean steak, then this could be the choice for you.

弹性素食包括吃植物性食物，只偶尔吃肉和鱼。你可能会认为这是成为素食者的折中办法，因为你不能完全戒除肉类。但是，如果素食主义很难接受，而你又想偶尔吃一块瘦肉排，那么这可能是你的选择。



This eating style allows you to supplement some ingredients that you wouldn't get in a stricter vegan diet – another trend growing in popularity. And like veganism, flexitarianism isn't about eating carefully to help you lose a few pounds - it's something people choose for ethical reasons, to help the planet. And a study into the global food system and how it affects the climate, has found that eating mainly plant-based foods is one of three key steps towards a sustainable future for all by 2050.

这种饮食方式可以让你补充一些在严格的纯素食中无法获得的成分——这也是另一种日益流行的趋势。与纯素食主义一样，弹性素食主义并不是为了减肥而精打细算，而是人们出于道德原因，为了帮助地球而选择的一种饮食方式。一项关于全球食品体系及其如何影响气候的研究发现，主要食用植物性食物是到2050年实现全人类可持续未来的三个关键步骤之一。
