Once again, from Webster's New World, Second College Edition:
ol·i·goph·a·gous adj. feeding upon a limited variety of food, as certain caterpillars whose diet is restricted to a few related plants


While I admit I eat pizza and fries too often, I am not nearly so oligophagous as the stereotypical college student.

(Yes, oligophagous comes from the same root as oligarchy and is related to esophagus. And to anthropophagous, actually. But the specific word's new to me, so... ^_^)
