I'm a pollotarian (vegetarian who also eats chicken), and have been for about a year. I did it mainly for ethical reasons - I think cows, pigs etc suffer real anxiety and fear before slaughter and I do not want to be part of that. i don't think chickens have the intelligence for such deep emotions, hence why I have less of an issue with them being killed, though in an ideal world I'd be a proper veggie. Can't really comment on health benefits, but I slipped up once and ate beef (I really crave and miss beef) and my digestion definitely felt different.
