Pollotarianism

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Tagged for speedy as blatant OR, but that's not speediable. It does, however, appear to be entirely accurate. Guy (Help!) 14:20, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * "appear to be entirely accurate"? this is nothing else than original research at it's best. Greetings --Nolispanmo 14:26, 31 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete It's a shame that Wiktionary isn't on the sidebar, because that's where this belongs. As the news search above shows, it's a term that someone made up a couple of years ago and that hasn't caught on.  I'm not sure if the coined word  was originally intended as a joke, since the meaning is basically a person who has philosophical objections to consuming food prepared by the deaths of cattle, pigs, sheep, fish, etc., but who, for some reason, doesn't have the same objections if it's just the decapitation of a chicken with a butcher's axe.  The variations would be numerous pesco-pollotarianism (they eat fish and chickens but not meat) or "carni-pollotarianism" (doesn't eat fish) or "carnipescopollotarianism" (eats meat, fish and chicken) etc.  I recognize that this may refer to people who are making a dietary choice for health reasons, but that's like comparing a lactose-intolerant person to a vegan.

 * Delele No sources given for the topic itself, only for background info. Having said that the concept does make sense to me, since both raising beef and fishing have greater negative impacts on the environment than raising chickens, and are more expensive as well.
