Pollotarianism is the practice of adhering to a diet that incorporates poultry as the only source of meat in an otherwise vegetarian diet.

History

While pollo specifically means chicken in both Spanish and Italian (with pollame meaning poultry in general in Italian), pollotarians are known to also incorporate different forms of poultry, like duck and turkey, in their diet. Pollotarians may also eat dairy products, eggs and honey.

The term "pollo-vegetarian" was first used in nutritional textbooks in the 1980s to describe a semi-vegetarian diet that incorporates poultry. Historian Rod Preece describes pollotarians as "those who refrain from mammals, but are willing to eat the flesh of birds, notably chickens."

Comparison

Examples

Politician Chauncey Depew was a pollotarian. In a 1925 interview aged 90, Depew stated that "For thirty years the only meat I've eaten has been poultry". Matt Damon lost weight for the movie Courage Under Fire by sticking to a chicken-only diet. Adam Driver ate only one full rotisserie chicken and six eggs a day along with running to maintain his fitness during his days in Juilliard School. Indian actor and star Shah Rukh Khan as well as Emraan Hashmi are well-known for their pollotarianism.
