    I had to google ostretarian, because I had never heard of that one before.

    I was surprised that searching for “ostretarian” was one of the few google searches I’ve ever done in which only a single hit came up:

    Or two, if you allow google to “expand” the results:

    It seems like references come from this article by The Guardian last month:

    https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/sep/12/ill-have-them-with-hot-sauce-should-vegans-eat-oysters

    In which it refers to bivalve veganism.

    Searching for “bivalve veganism” yields an article from a couple of years ago in which the practice is referred to as “bivalve veganism” or “ostroveganism”

    Searching for “Ostrovegan” yields lots of varied results—making me think this chart just has a typo on a word which was just unfamiliar to me.

    I spent some time, but at least I learned something new.
