I feel like this revelation should be something I've seen before.

I haven't. Kudos!

You haven't because it's not true. Eggs aren't meat.

What do you consider blood and semen to be, meat? How about a toe nail?

What I consider it to be is irrelevant. It's has a definition, the flesh of an animal. Eggs are generally single cells and clearly don't fall into the 'flesh of an animal' category.

Definitely more than one. To be the x of something, there has to be something else. Otherwise it's just the thing in it's entirety. But that is just the first obvious idiocy of the statement. Tons of stuff come from animals that no one would call meat. So a better question would be, whywould it be considered meat?

If you consider semen as meat, then sure, eggs are also meat. And so is skin, testicles, eyeballs, intestines, etc

It has the genetic material to grow parts, not the parts themselves. Is the cell also blood? And eyes? And beak? It's got the genetic material to grow those as well.

This is why we have actual checklists for what qualifies as what with food. So twits don't look at corn and seeds, shrug their shoulders, and declare "well, when a chicken eats its it'll become more chicken, so I guess it's chicken."

flesh is tissue and sometimes fat, which are definitely made up of more than 2 cells
