    What? No, that’s not what I was arguing. I said most people do not eat fertilized eggs. That’s true even if some people do eat fertilized eggs. The proportion of fertilized eggs to unfertilized eggs does not affect the morality of eating either kind of egg.

      The whole point of the post is whether eggs are meat or not. The discussion turned hypothetically to a fertilized egg or not being meat, and the answer being an unscientific yes. Your rebuttal was that most people don’t eat fertilized eggs, so therefore = not meat. I asked you how many eggs would have to be fertilized, to which you replied half of peopel would need roosters. Therefore, to conclude this absurd conversation, if 50% rooster ownership nets half of eggs fertilized + 1 eggs, makes them meat.

      I think it’s pretty clear that this was silly, but the logic flows correctly.

        I don’t think my parents would eat eggs on Friday if they thought it might be fertilized, and I think that’s the whole point here.

        Anyway arguments here are going to be pointless since Catholics eat fish on Fridays anyway, so any logic is already flawed
