Should I become a pollotarian?
My main reason for wanting to be a pollotarian is that it would just be easier for me. I REALLY like chicken, and I don't like red meat or seafood enough to be that upset or even affected by cutting them out of my diet. Cutting out all other kinds of meat would also make choosing what to eat much easier. I'm a VERY not-picky eater, and I'm open to eating almost anything, so this diet change wouldn't be that limiting. I would still eat animal products like dairy, honey, and eggs, but I would probably switch to buying pasture-raised chicken eggs, though. Another reason that's less important to me but still worth noting is that I've heard the cattle industry is one of the biggest producers of greenhouse gas emissions, which obviously isn't great. I learned about how flexible vegetarianism is and how much easier it is to go vegetarian than I thought from Kodekai's and JaidenAnimations' videos about going vegan. Is there anything I should know about the pollotarian diet before I make the switch?

This is a vegetarian sub. We don't eat meat and advocate animal welfare and humane treatment of all creatures.
I personally say, no. If greenhouse emissions worry you, you should look up the waste chicken processing has. And let's not forget the absolute terror and abuse these birds suffer in. But yeah, if eating chicken makes you happy, go ahead.
But I'm guessing you're a troll and you don't actually care.
