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?

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. Therefore, to conclude this absurd conversation, 50% + 1 fertilized eggs makes them meat.

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