Regarding dietary habit, a combination of pollotarian (one who eats poultry and no other
meat) and pescetarian (one who eats seafood and no other
meat) for describing one with a relatively simple restriction, usually based on ethical value, religious faith, or personal taste -- one who does not eat red meat, but only "
white" meat and animal by-products; basically, one who does not eat mammals.
Person 1: "Hey, do you want some
bacon?"
Person 2: "No thanks, I'm just going to have some chicken. I'm a pollo-pescetarian."
Person 1: "What the fuck is that?"
Person 2: "Someone who doesn'
t eat red
meat."
Person 1: "Why? Are you a religious
nut or something?"
Person 2: "No, I just believe that there is a point where the evolutionary advancement of an animal, and its ability to experience emotion, its ability to feel pain, its intelligence, its sociable tendencies, its size -- really its connection to the human race -- is far too advanced for us to allow ourselves to systematically kill them for
food we do not need. There are few biological distinctions between
dogs and pigs, or humans and most mammals for that matter."
Person 1: "Oh... eh,
bacon tastes too good."
Person 2: *facepalm*
