I mean I get it but generally you don’t eat fertilized eggs
You do if you have roosters
How many people do you think own roosters compared to the number of people who eat eggs? It’s gotta be less than 1%
Does the quantity of roosters determine the validity of the argument?
Since I said people “generally” don’t eat fertilized eggs, 50% rooster ownership among egg consumers would qualify.
So, for the purposes of this argument, according to your metric - 50% +1 fertilized eggs would then grant unhatched eggs the distinction of being alive and thereby now meat?
No I don’t think that’s how the argument was meant to work. I think the point was that since most eggs people eat aren’t fertilised, the initial comparison fails down, but if most eggs were fertilised it wouldn’t. I’m not sure that’s a convincing position myself, but w/e. tbqh I don’t think most people would eat a fertilised egg… Like, you can really tell. I forget where I was going with this. Think I’m gonna go to sleep now. Goodnight.
