semi-vegetarian; they abstain from red meat only. Semi-vegetarians eat seafood, poultry, dairy, and they use animal products.

yes, an omnivore same as for those who do eat red meat. A pecatarian eats no meat or poultry, but eats seafood. A vegetarian eats no meat or seafood or poultry, and a vegan uses no animal derived products whatsoever

Pescetarianism
Pescetarians eat fish, as well as shellfish, crustaceans, and the like, but exclude other meats or animal products. Pesco is usually assumed to derive from the Latin for fish, piscis, but the vowel e suggests the influence of a Romance language such as Spanish or Italian.
As of August 2004, "pescatarian", "pescotarian", and "piscatarian" could also be found on the Internet, but "pescetarian" was perhaps the most popular. (While Italian pesce is pronounce with a soft "ch", the English term is usually pronounced with a hard "c".) "Pescavore" is also quite common, formed by analogy with "carnivore" (though the more regular word piscivore already existed).
"Fishetarian" was also used in print as early as 1992, but is no longer very common.
[edit] Pollo-vegetarianism
Pollo is derived from the Latin for chicken. This prefix is then prepended to the root word vegetarian. Since a vegetarian is one who eats plant-based foods but restricts or excludes animal flesh, a pollo-vegetarian allows chicken.
The word "pollotarian" can also be found in internet sources to describe this diet.
Note that these are ad hoc coinages using Latinate (not genuine Latin) stems to form new words. The Latin stem meaning "fish" is pisci- and the stem meaning "chicken" is pulli-.
"Pesce-pollotarianism" (or chickifishitarian) is a pejorative neologism that means one who includes chicken and fish as non-meats, but pescetarianism and pollo-vegetarianism are separate entities.

Why is this question in the vegetarian and vegan section? The term is certainly not vegetarian nor vegan. More like omnivore ... picky meat-eater ... etc.

I call myself a quasi-vegetarian. I don't like red meat at all, but the others are fine.
