For the last time, vegans...
Okay, so I'm getting really sick of vegans saying that eggs are "chicken abortions". Let me use science to explain how that is a complete load of crap.
An abortion is the destruction of an embryo or fetus. An embryo or fetus is formed with egg and sperm combine and divide and turn into some type of animal. An egg, on the other hand, is just an egg. There is no sperm, The chicken never had sex. If you kept that egg in the nest, it would not hatch into an adorable fluffy chick. It would rot and stink.
The eggs that we buy and eat are more analogous to chicken menstruation than chicken abortion. They are useless eggs that didn't get fertilised and are expelled from the body to make room for fresh eggs. There is no ethical reason on earth not to eat eggs, as long as the chickens are treated well. So if you're that concerned about chickens, buy free range eggs.
This has been a public service message brought to you by science and common sense.
