Feather and the Pescatarian Diet

Feathers are structures made of keratin that cover the body of birds. While not commonly used in food products, feathers can be processed to extract keratin or other proteins for use in products like dietary supplements, cosmetics, and even some industrial applications. The collection of feathers can be done either by gathering naturally shed feathers or by harming the bird, which raises ethical concerns for some consumers.
