Someone who, for any of several possible reasons, does not eat warm-blooded animals or land animals. For instance, such a person may dislike the enslavement and cruelty inflicted on animals in factory farms; or one may be repulsed by the idea of eating another mammal. In other cases, one may simply practice pescovegetarianism for health reasons rather than ethical ones. Due to the apparently contradictory nature of the term, it is extremely liable to provoke glib knee-jerk reactions in others.
person #1: You eat fish? What a hypocrite you are, fish aren't vegetables. They suffer too.
person #2: You ass, you didn't even ask me why I'm a pescovegetarian.
person #3: No kidding. What a contemptible non sequitur person # 1 just made. The day someone coins a less clumsy word to denote a person whose meat diet is limited to cold-blooded sea animals, is the day I'll drop the term pescovegetarianism in exchange for that other, more descriptive, yet-to-be-coined term.

Get the pescovegetarian mug.A pescotarian is a vegetarian who also eats aquatic animal protein. Although pescotarianism is not a true vegetarian choice, this person probably does not consume dairy or eggs. The pescotarian diet is considered to be among the healthiest. Examples are the Japanese and Mediteranean diets. People from these cultures have historically had longer lifespans, more productive years, and fewer diseases. The lifespans of these cultures are beginning to shorten, however, as a result of the introduction of the Western diet. Peoples from these cultures, too, show a marked first generation decrease in health and lifespan when relocating to the United States. Pescotarians choose this lifestyle often because of health reasons, or in response to the way beef, pork and chicken are raised and slaghtered. Other varied reasons for adopting this diet exist, as well.

Get the pescovegetarian mug.A dive bar located in Lakspur, CA.
The greatest bar in Marin County or the country for that matter. Filled with alcoholics in the morning, blue collar stiffs in the afternoon, and young Marinites in the evenings. An old piano sitting in the corner hasn't been tuned since Janis Joplin last played it. A great hookup bar.
Tip or GTFO!
