Talk:Pescetarianism

Should this article be moved to pescatarianism?

• pescetarianism seems to be the less common spelling, not the other way around:
  • dictionary.com has pescatarian, but not pescetarian
  • OED, M-W, Cambridge have both, but both list pescetarian as the "variant" and pescatarian as the main spelling
  • counter-argument: American Heritage has both, but lists pescatarian as the variant
  • Google search compare shows pescatarian to be the clearly dominant spelling since 2016 (though interestingly they were somewhat close before that)
  • Google books ngram shows the same divergence, but starting from about 2007
  • NYT has 95 results for pescatarian and 25 for pescetarian
  • wiktionary lists pescatarian as the alternative form of pescetarian, but I suspect that is prescriptive, not descriptive

What you are saying is probably accurate, I did a search for cookbooks, most of them have pescetarian in the title. However, I don't see this issue as that important because pescatarianism is also cited in the lead. People searching for both terms will be directed to the article.

Study removed

I have just removed this text "Recent research shows that pescetarianism is 74% heritable, with genetic influences accounting for 70-80% of individual differences" sourced to this bizarre paper [1] that took its self-reported data from Twins in the Netherlands. This doesn't belong in the lead and we need a much stronger source to be making the claim that "pescetarianism is 74% heritable". Psychologist Guy (talk) 16:35, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
