o you make it a habit to cut back on animal products? Have you been more pedantic when checking the ingredients on product labels lately? Are you eco-minded yet still struggling to give up certain foods? Move over veganism, vegetarianism, pescatarianism, flexitarianism… There’s a new kid on the food trends block, and it’s called reducetarianism. If you’re on the fence about going fully-fledged vegan but still find yourself wanting to reduce your intake of meat and dairy for ethical, environmental and health reasons, you might be a reducetarian without even knowing it!
