Flexitarian?

[C Muir]

read today that "flexitarian" was voted most useful word for 2003. however, to describe flexible vegetarians, the word does not make etymological sense. That is, "flexi" and "tarian" simply mean flexible people. And if that is not the case, then we might allow:

Unitarian = one on a strict, single food diet (especially when sick)
Humanitarian = one on a human diet (a cannibal?)

I think Vegeflex is a better word.
