So….eggs are not vegetarian. They are meat. An animal died so you can eat those eggs. It doesn’t count. I don’t care what other regions think. Vegetarian = no meat. Vegan= nothing from an animal (such as milk since the cow didn’t die to get you that milk) now feel free to downvote away. It won’t matter and it won’t change the facts. Your just wrong en masse.

Damn you went in on it without realizing you were wrong from the jump. Eggs are laid without fertilization

They would have been fertilized if they weren’t picked by humans.

Not unless the hen mated with a rooster first. They lay regularly whether their eggs are fertilized or not. We only eat the unfertilized ones

How do you know which ones are fertilized and which ones aren’t?

I've never done this myself, but I heard you can shine a flashlight through the egg to see if there's an embryo inside. Results depends on how early or late into the growing process it is. The easiest thing to do is just keep the roosters and the hens separated so you know they're all unfertilized.

Well for the record I’m sure these eggs in the photo weren’t fertilized. That doesn’t mean i think eggs still count as vegetarian.

Yeah you got me. The original thought still holds up. Eggs are meat

How would they get fertilized when the hens have zero access to roosters? No males=no sperm=no fertilization.

Did you also know that human women “lay eggs” absent fertilization? It’s called a period. Not sure I’ve ever seen someone so sure while being so wrong.

Yes i was aware. It’s still an animal product that was designed for something else.

how are unfertilized eggs meat?

The chicken laid those eggs for reproductive purposes. Not for other people or other animals to eat. They weren’t grown in the ground or picked from a tree.

How does an egg get fertilized AFTER it's laid?

richman678 t1_j9q40xt wrote

Now that i didn’t know. Then technically it’s a crapshoot if the eggs been fertilized or not.

If every egg became a chicken, we'd have HUGE problems.

Unless, maybe, we ate them.

Well the same reason turtles lay like 30 eggs. The likelihood of the hatchlings making it to the ocean and living their life out is low. It’s called evolution. Over thousands of years turtles bodies taught themselves to produce more. Same with chickens as in the wild chickens are very popular amongst predators

The unborn chickens.

So you don’t understand how chickens and eggs work. Got it.

If that helps with your self esteem by all means.
