The table eggs you eat are not fertilized, therefore not a chicken.
Fertilized eggs aren’t a chicken either though…
Eggs aren’t fertilized and thus aren’t embryos tho.
I already checked they can eat fertilized eggs as well.
I mean, unless people are eating Filipino Balut on a regular basis… I don’t think that the vast majority of eggs are fertilized.
I guess Balut is a good question and the island / city of Ilo Ilo is predominantly Catholic. So I could ask around lol. But honestly, I avoid that food. It just doesn’t look right…
“Fish on Lent” is supposed to be an act of humility, as it is historically a peasant dish.
“Eggs on Lent” is appropriate not because “eggs aren’t chickens until they’re hatched” but because eggs are cheap.
Of course, with the price of fish diverging heavily from meat in the wake of factory farming, one might rationally argue that the American lental feast should be burgers.
But this would not be the first time that the dogma of church history outweighs the message they’re supposedly teaching.
Ah, you fell for one of the classic blunders: expecting your opponent to value logic and consistency in their opinions
