Pollotarianism

Pollotarianism (also known as pollo-vegetarianism)[1] is the practice of adhering to a diet that incorporates poultry or game as the only source of meat in an otherwise vegetarian diet.[2][3]

Chicken and vegetables; foodstuffs compatible with a pollotarian diet

While "pollo" means chicken in Spanish, pollo-vegetarians are known to incorporate different forms of poultry, like duck and turkey in their diet.[4] A pollo-vegetarian may also eat dairy products.[5] The term "pollovegetarian" was first used in nutritional textbooks in the 1980s to describe a semi-vegetarian diet that incorporates poultry.[6][7] Historian Rod Preece describes pollotarians as "those who refrain from mammals but are willing to eat the flesh of birds notably chickens."[8]
