A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I'm able to understand conceptually that "meat" doesn't literally mean any animal's muscle tissue in every language. Sometimes it's a more vague concept of a large mammal's meat and excludes fish, poultry, etc. And that's okay. But I also hate it.
My mom often cooks "meat free". There's always some sausage in there like Chorizo. Tastes great, but it's certainly not free of meat.
"reduced meat" doesn't sound as good
What about "meat lite"?
I’ve never once voiced this thought out loud, but every time someone says something like “I don’t want fish, I want to eat meat” I think “Well, you’re wrong, but OK.” There’s some arbitrary dividing line people assume is logical, but I don’t think it would hold up to serious scrutiny.
Are organs other than muscle not meat?
"Organ meats" is definitely a phrase used for offal, but I think the "organ" qualifier is doing work there. Offal is certainly meat in the sense that if ordered a dish with no meat and got liver, I'd be upset. But I'd also be upset if I said I want meat for dinner and my partner made liver. I guess it really depends on context.
