Questions

Question 1:
If a vegetarian allows him/herself to eat eggs, does that mean that they should also be okay with eating embryonic cows and pigs? What about fetal cows and pigs? When does life in livestock begin and stop being okay to eat? What if we were going to eat a cow-bryo to save the momma cow's life? Or if the momma cow was a victim of incest so the cow-bryo had to be eaten, or it would be a developmentally challenged cow with webbed udders?

Question 2:
How strange would the world be if it was governed exactly the way most undergraduate fiction writers create it? Nothing specific, everything vague and all actions done irrationally. Personalities change willy nilly, and bad people are irrevocably bad, and good people are irrevocably good. A world of absolutes and vague stuff...but would that change politics at all?

So you mean "What if everyone was republican?"

1)We should eat everything. EVERYTHING. And eggs don't count for vegetarians unless they are vegans.

2)Life would be simple.

Unless the carton says "fertilized", most eggs at your grocery stores are unfertilized. That means, they're only the egg, and not the egg + sperm you'd need to have a chicken fetus. It's like the difference between a woman's period and a miscarriage.

Yeah, I said it: eating eggs is eating a chicken's period.

Soooooo...by that logic, eating a cow period would be okay? Would A-1 go on it?

Thank you for that comment Bryan. I am now solidly in the vegetarian camp, no more chicken tenders at BWs.
