flexitarian

Description

A flexitarian is one who savors a curious compromise between a sense of environmental duty and a craving for cheeseburgers. Each bite inflates their ethical self-satisfaction, only for the next to shatter it in glorious contradiction. They champion the gentle coexistence of meat and vegetables as a noble banner, while in practice switching dietary allegiances according to whim. It is the art of embracing an unstable eating habit and experiencing conscience sway with every forkful.
