Are eggs meat?

[boognish76]

I know that most vegetarians eat eggs but is there really a difference between eating an egg and eating a chicken? Isn't it just a question of timing?!

[bernardo]

No. It's an animal produce. The egg is not itself a proto-animal; it is the food which feeds the seed which grows to become an animal.

Q. Are fish vegetables? A. Only when you remove their brains.

[boognish76]

Yes, but the egg contains the seed. Okay, I know only fertilised eggs contain an embryo but how can you tell if an egg is fertilised or not? And even unfertilised eggs contain the real 'egg' within the yolk.

A chicken laying an egg is like a woman ovulating. So when a woman ovulates, is that egg a baby?

[boognish76]

No, but it is 'meat'.

[poadster]

Yes, it usually takes longer to eat a chicken, and they're harder to catch. It's difficult to dip soldiers into a chicken, and chickens don't crack into the frying pan so easily. Also, scrambled chicken is problematic, and it's hard to make a Spanish omlette with onions, potatoes , and a chicken.

another complication to your dilema - only female hens lay eggs, so the male chicks will be killed, same as the milk industry - male calves are sent to slaughter as they dont produce milk, which is why i have respect for vegans.

yes but the next question is "what came first, the chicken or the pervert?"
