Is there a word in-between "vegetarian" and "non-vegetarian"? [closed]

Solution 1:

Flexitarian — Dictionary

noun 1. a person whose diet is mostly vegetarian but sometimes includes meat, fish, or poultry.

Also called semi-vegetarian — Wikipedia

Specific flexitarian diets include:

  • Pollotarian: someone who eats chicken or other poultry, but not meat from mammals, often for environmental, health or food justice reasons.

  • Pescetarian: someone who eats fish and/or other seafood, but not poultry or meat from mammals.

  • Pesco-pollo: someone who eats both poultry and fish/seafood, though no meat from mammals.

  • The macrobiotic diet is plant-based, and may or may not include the occasional addition of fish or other seafood

Solution 2:

Semi-vegetarian is used (often in the same sense as flexitarian).

You can distinguish subspecies, like pescetarian (allowing fish and seafood with a vegetarian diet) is attested in Merriam-Webster since 1993.

More subtle, pollotarian has few occurrences (Urban Dictionary, Pollotarian diet), varying between "adding poultry only" to vegetarian, and "eating chicken, fish, dairy products and eggs".

Then, you have lacto-vegetarians (consuming dairy products, no eggs), ovo-vegetarians (eggs, no dairy) and lacto-ovo-vegetarians (eggs+diary products).

Solution 3:

  1. Pollo - Vegetarian
  2. Pesco - Vegetarian
  3. Lacto - Ovo - Vegetarian
  4. Lacto- Vegetarian
  5. Ovo - Vegetarian

Solution 4:

Part-Time Vegetarian comes to mind..

A person not fully committed to a cause but only when some personal circumstance allows; often but not all the time.

'Always unless Mom is cooking' maybe or 'Only on weekdays.'

The Part-Time Vegetarian - WebMD:

I call myself a "part-time" vegetarian because, while I do eat meat, I like to eat vegetarian meals often.
