It means a low meat diet.
Yes, I read it. I'd still call that an omnivorous diet. I don't get the fascination with creating more labels
Feels like identity politics
It really does, and it's more likely to turn people off from doing this than encouraging it. I already eat a low meat diet, and there's not a chance in hell I'd ever use this word to describe myself. This reeks of vegans coming in and saying "look at this cool new diet we invented!" when it just describes what much of humanity already does
You people always find weird things to complain about even though this is more approachable than switching to plant-based over night.
And "you people" are incredibly presumptuous
