+# Flexible Vegetarianism
+
+A flexitarian (flexible vegetarian) diet is centered on plant foods with limited
+or occasional inclusion of dairy and meat. It plays along with other dietary
+"philosophies", such as ethical omnivorism, as an incrementalist approach to
+reducing the hazards and negative externalities of feeding oneself.
+
+Meat and dairy are tasty, I know. Trust me, **I know**. What some may call
+'barbecue' is but junk food compared to a traditional south-american
+_churrasco/asado_ - no steak house will ever replicate it. And cheese? I don't
+believe humanity will ever produce a passable plant-based _canastra_ cheese.
+_Moqueca_, bobó, vatapá... lating american seafood is irreplaceable in my heart.
+
+While meat is indeed tasty, [it is a champion of negative externalities in this
+world - land use, water use, greenhouse gas emissions, animal suffering
+etc][kg-meat]. Seafood and dairy each have their own unique issues too. 
+
+[kg-meat]: https://youtu.be/NxvQPzrg2Wg?si=s6P64WtE28ynSUlW
+
+Certain aspects of consumption can be offset a little with some investment.
+Free-range eggs, sustainably produced/harvested seafood, organic/grass-fed cow
+milk etc are better defaults. But improvements regarding animal cruelty usually
+also mean a worse environmental impact because factory farming is so efficient.
+
+In terms of health, it is possible to have a healthy diet with plenty of animal
+products. It's also pretty easy to have an unhealthy plant-based diet. That's
+why I tend to keep "health" as a concern separate from my vegetarianism. Health
+is an elusive concept anyway, though there is a health benefit intrinsic to
+being more intentional with meal planning and paying more attention to our
+diets.
+
+My average month of meals breaks down approximately into: 20/60 include dairy or
+eggs, 10/60 have seafood, 5/60 will include meat. Dairy means mostly cheese, as
+in general our household replaced milk with oat milk except for lattes and
+desserts. In the eyes of my "carnivore" friends, I'm basically an
+ovo-lacto-pescatarian that can be tempted into eating meat once a week.
+
+Fully fledged vegans might scoff at such a low bar, but compared to my young
+adult diet where nearly all of my meals would include some meat and dairy, I'm
+down on meat consumption by about 90% and overall animal products consumption by
+two thirds.
+
+Of course, there's more always I could be doing, but while I'm still having an
+amazing time with my meals, I've already reduced the amount of agricultural land
+necessary to sustain my lifestyle by about 50%.
+
+That's a lot of impact for such an unambitious change of habit.
