A vegatarian is someone who does not eat or buy meat except under the following conditions:
1. if it is very inconvenient not to eat meat at that particular meal.
2. if they are sure that the meat will get thrown out or wasted.
3. on very
special occasions.
The point of vegatarianism is to bridge the
gap between the hard line approach of vegetarians and the over indulgent approach of most of western society.
It is by
definition a flexible term and is meant to be a set of simple guidelines for people who want to eat less meat but
don`t want to be vegetarians.
An important tenant of vegatarianism is to talk about it. The word was created help strengthen the dialog and practice of eating less meat. So every
good vegatarian will not hesitate in telling you he or she is a vegatarian. (while making sure not to come off as self righteous.)
