Even Kathleen, a vegetarian of 5 years eats turkey on Thanksgiving. She's really more of a pseudotarian.

John tries to refrain from eating meat whenever he can, but avoiding all meat products at all costs is a lot of work. Sometimes he'll just eat meat, he's more like a pseudotarian.

Ken went pseudotarian for a full 3 months because of Jessica. Now that they're broken up, he doesn't anything *but* meat.
