Pollotarianism is the practice of adhering to a diet that incorporates poultry as the only source of meat in an otherwise vegetarian diet.[1][2]

While "pollo" means chicken in Spanish and in Italian, pollotarians are known to incorporate different forms of poultry, like duck and turkey in their diet.[3] Pollotarians may also eat dairy products.[4] The term "pollo-vegetarian" was first used in nutritional textbooks in the 1980s to describe a semi-vegetarian diet that incorporates poultry.[5][6][7] Historian Rod Preece describes pollotarians as "those who refrain from mammals but are willing to eat the flesh of birds notably chickens."[8]
