wait are there people who make exceptions for chicken? how do they justify that? i've seen p*scatarian "they're from the ocean so it's different for some reason" but chicken is new to me
When I told my grandmother that I don't eat meat, she was still shocked to find out I don't eat chicken. For whatever reason chicken ≠ meat to some people
fwiw chicken meat is quite different from pig or cow meat nutritionally. so maybe some people do it as a diet, and call it vegetarianism because of language confusion? i'm pretty sure in some languages vegetarian is the same as vegan for example
When i lived in Morocco, when my friends would tell people they didn't eat meat, they would still get a plateful of chicken and fish.
for some, it's literally just a classification thing. I feel like in some cases, it makes more sense to say 'I don't eat animals' rather than 'I don't eat meat'.

I guess so? I had always assumed it was a cultural thing tbh
