a flexitarian

In the West, where meat is mainly meat, it is classified as an introductory vegetarian stage just by eating vegetarian food and eating meat from time to time

In Korea, where vegetarian dishes are developed, that type of diet is very common

In particular, many middle-aged and older people can be called flexitarians, but at this age, they are often reluctant to eat meat because of indigestion

It is also this type of vegetarianism to eat out at a meat restaurant once or twice a week after rarely eating meat side dishes in the usual diet
