Abstract

Flexitarianism – a word combining “flexible” and “vegetarianism”, has found its way into English since the early 2000s. After introducing flexitarianism, the chapter discusses sustainable diets and why human eating habits, particularly in the West, need to change. It offers ideas how to mainstream flexitarianism so that plant-based food choices become the norm, rather than the exception, in the pursuit for a healthy and nutritional human diet. Mainstreaming flexitarianism is a way to link human food with the broad spectrum of environmental and social problems which are at the core of the current planetary emergency.
