pescetarianism
Seafood-permitted vegetarian lifestyle
Pescetarianism is a dietary practice that excludes meat and poultry but includes fish and seafood.
Like vegetarianism, it typically permits eggs and dairy.
People adopt pescetarianism for health, environmental, or ethical reasons—often viewing fish as more sustainable or less sentient than land animals.
After years of vegetarianism, she moved to pescetarianism for the protein.
