I generally don't, but I really wish there was an easy term for my diet, because having to explain to people what I will and won't eat is a pain.
I eat fish and free-range poultry, but no mammals. I'm a mammal, so I'm not going to eat other mammals, that's creepy to me - too closely related. I hate birds, and they are more distant, so I'm not really weirded out by eating them, but I still have a problem with killing them in disgusting ways, so I'm picky about that. Fish I just don't really have a big issue with at all. They are really distant from me. I guess I am horribly speciesist ...
So yeah, try getting into that convo everytime someone tries to convince you to "just eat the damn hamburger" or "but you ate that chicken at your house last week" ...
It makes sense to me!
