文本对话
Could you be flexitarian?
N:Catherine, are you flexitarian?
C: No, I’m not really religious, Neil.
N: It’s not a religion!It’s a diet.It means mainly eating plant-based foods and only occasionally eating meat.
C:Oh, I see, sorry-er, well, I don’t eat too much meat so I’m kind of on the way to flexitarianism.
N:Some people don’t eat meat for ethical reasons.That means that for them it’s wrong to eat meat, it’s wrong that animals should be killed for our food.But one of the reasons for being flexitarian and only eating meat once in a while is for the benefit of the planet.According to a recent report, being flexitarian is healthier for the individual but can also help to fight climate change.
