Semi-vegetarianism is a term used to describe the practice of excluding some meat (particularly red meat) from the diet while still consuming limited amounts of poultry, fish, and/or seafood. In many references, a semi-vegetarian is also a flexitarian or "almost vegetarian". The term semi-vegetarian is sometimes also referred to as a diet that excludes "red meat". A semi-vegetarian may also be an individual that does not consume meat on 1,2 or 3 days of the week. These people (LWW included) are the true semi-vegetarians. Semi-vegetarian diets are not vegetarian diets, which exclude ingestion of all animal flesh.
