Any pesce-pollotarians out there?

Is there anyone out there that practices the pesce-pollotarian diet (eats seafood and poultry but no mammalian meat)? I've followed this diet for 3 years now and I don't know anyone else who does!
If you do, add me. I'd love to hear about the types of food/recipes you eat/make

I've honestly never heard of this. I don't see why there are so many labels to how people eat. You either eat meat, are vegetarian or are vegan. I don't understand pescatarian either as you are still eating animal flesh and therefore should be in the meat category..... but people like labels so let them make the world confusing.0

Pescetarian, but no chicken meat...0
-
You just made up that label, did you? I don't eat a lot of four legged animal meat. What about Crustaceans? Do you eat them?0
-
I'm not, but I know plenty. There are some famous pescetarians, as well.0
-
For the next 4 weeks my fiance and I are doing a plant based diet for our wedding. But I am typically pescetarian/poultry only as well.0
-
Seriously? This is an actual thing. I guess people just want to be part of a label. I think everyone would just call it being an omnivore because technically you are eating meat.
I guess I am a pesce-pollo-porkatarian (I felt silly just typing that).0 -

Love me some crustaceans!0 -
I think its pretty safe to just say you're a meat eater. I have honestly never heard of this.0

That's almost as ridiculous a label as flexitarian....0

I'm a meat-a-saurus.. there i'm properly labled and feel like I fit in now. LMAO
although no shellfish cause they are deadly to me. (booo)
Oh yes. I'm also a plant-a-saurus..0 -

I know, right? Tasty little bugs. High protein, low cal, low fat. Well, except all that butter. Details.0 -
I am learning new words today from this thread! I only eat mammal meat and chicken, not a fan of seafood. What does that make me?! 0

Not unless you eat them for dinner. 0 -
I try not to practice eating. I just shovel it in.
I've heard a lot of labels before, but this is a new one to me.0 -
i THINK IT WOULD BE MEAT-POLLITARIAN???I am learning new words today from this thread! I only eat mammal meat and chicken, not a fan of seafood. What does that make me?!
A meatatarian?
Sorry, caps are still on from the last thread!:blushing:0 -
That's actually what I eat. I've never labeled it but you can call it what you want :-)
We eat wild-caught, sustainable fish. I don't eat red meat because of a lot of reasons, the main one being that I'm not really a fan. I don't eat pork mostly because I don't care for it-except for bacon which is so bad for me. So no pork it is!
It's also a personal choice for my own health. Not one that everyone makes, but it works for me and my lifestyle.0 -

If you eat veggies to you just be a omnivore. Or you could do like I did and jus make something up. Maybe a
pollo-porka-beefatarian 0 -

Okay well I am a Clinical Dietitian and there are labels for everything and I need to be knowledgeable about this for the sake of my patients. I really don't care about it as a label for me per se, I just thought it was easier for those who follow the diet to find my topic. I really only want to connect to those with a similar lifestyle so that we can share recipes and such.0

I've never heard of your label. Pescetarian is technically not a real defination either. I don't understand why people want to put so many labels on things. You either eat meat, are a vegetarian or a vegan. I also don't get, besides medical issues, why it's ok to eat one animal but not another. I've know a lot of pescetarians who don't eat meat because they don't want animals killed for their conumption... what makes a fish so different?? What makes fish and poultry different than consuming all kinds of meat?0 -

Sure, I don't go around calling myself a pescetarian... but I don't have a problem with anyone who does. What does it matter how someone wants to call themself? I agree with you. You could have said "Any-non-meat-eating-except-for-fish-and-poulty people out there?" but your topic was just a more condensed way of seeking out people with similar diets aimed at anyone with a high enough Italian comprehension level to order off the menu at the Olive Garden.
P.S. I love words. If you made this one up... kudos.I've never heard of your label. Pescetarian is technically not a real defination either.

You're right. It's not a definition. It's a word. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pescetarian
And for me it has nothing to do with moral rights of animals... except in their treatment pre-consumption. If you actually know a lot people who think it's perfectly fine to eat fish but morally reprehnsible to eat animals with four legs... maybe it's time to reconsider the company you keep.0 -

I don't think you're ridiculous. I eat this way too. I have since high school. Seafood and poultry, but no beef, pork, venison, etc etc. 0 -
I am a pesce-pollotarian too, out of default! Growing up I have never liked egg, milk, red meat/pork and have only ate chicken and fish the majority of my life! I never knew until recently that there were an actual title for this and many people follow this diet. I am also against animal cruelty and would love to be a full vegan, however I love chicken and fish and rely too heavily on those meats as my daily diet. Glad to know I'm not alone! 0

:huh: I wouldn't think it would be that difficult to find recipes involving fruits or vegetables and chicken or fish... I eat meals composed of these things weekly.0 -
Arise ye pesky proletariate, and down with the bourgeoisie!!!
I'm still not sure what this has to do with fish though. :grumble:0
