Finally, a word to describe my erratic dietary preference.
Also, for those 087 kids out there, you can now use o2sms to send up to 300 free texts a month. (It's installed on matrix as vodasms.)

From Ron Pickarski
Regarding Flexitarian. The name was trademarked approximately 4 years ago, before it was on anyon's radar screen. I won 7 International Culinary Olympic Medals in Vegetarian cuisine, authored 3 cookbooks on vegetarian cuisine, have been a vegetarian since 1976, worked in professional kitchens 44 years and have a patent pending for a product related to "Flexitarian®.
If one thinks about it philosophically, none of us own anything. We have it's use (i.e. our homes) while we live in and pay the mortgage and/or taxes. But we have only the use of the temporal world while we live in it. So it is with Flexitarian®. Eco-Cuisine has legal ownership of the name, as authorized by the US Patent & Trademark Office, to promote a line of vegan products to support improving the health of our country. And yes, I am in business to make a living with the business idealisms of Banjamin Franklin. His position is that business's primary function is to serve the good of the community while making an honest livng.
Better then irresponsible comment, would it not be productive to ask why I chose to trademark the name and what are my goals with it? I enjoy intelligent commentary and being challenged. I was a Franciscan Monk/Friar for 23 years. There is more to the bottom line then my bank account.
If you want to comment, my email address is ron@eco-cuisine.com. Meanwhile, please use the name to refer to Eco-Cusine's Flexitarian® products or refrain from using the term.
Following is EC's Flexitan® Statement.
FLEXITARIAN® - A Statement
Recent information in various media have included misuse of the trademarked term, Flexitarian®. This statement provides an explanation of the term Flexitarian® and describes its use.
Flexitarian® was trademarked by Eco-Cuisine® and defines a newly developed line of vegetarian plant based products developed for health conscious consumers. Flexitarian® products are suitable for all types of vegetarian diets: vegan, ovo, lacto, or lacto ovo. The products do not contain or require animal based ingredients in their preparation. Flexitarian® products are also ideal for non-vegetarian health conscious consumers who are eating more vegetarian products as part of healthy dietary lifestyle and will not sacrifice taste for nutrition.
Eco-Cuisine® Flexitarian® plant based vegan products include vegetarian proteins, broth powders, bakery mixes, and soy puddings. Animal proteins can be added to Eco-Cuisine® vegetarian meat analogues (proteins) to vary the texture, flavor and nutritional profile. Eco-Cuisine® bakery mixes function perfectly as plant based vegan products. However, dairy and egg may be added to expand applications and flavor profiles. Sauces made with Eco-Cuisine® vegetarian broth powders (beef style, chicken style, ham style and vegetable) can be incorporated into meat recipes or used to deglaze pans in which meats were prepared.
Eco-Cuisine® Flexitarian® plant based products offer foodservice operators and chefs the flexible vegetarian and meat based culinary applications necessary to appease today’s health conscious consumer which includes part time vegetarians. Flexitarian® products meet the need for healthy, great tasting dining alternatives for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
