The really true hardcore fear factor thing would have been to acknowledge the presence of the embryo, to have cooked it and eaten it anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 0 #30 June 29, 2004 I have, My grandparents own a farm, raise thier own chickens geese and such. Well grandma cracked open an egg and must have gotten to sit under mom longer than most cause that little dab of white that is on most eggs had started to form. Of course she called all the grandchildren into the kitchen for a life lesson, showing that that is what a baby chicken looked liked after a few days under momma chicken. I've also seen calves and horses being born, branding, neutering and slaughtering/butchering. Kind of takes the mystery out of food, just like sitting threw your rigger re-packing your rig takes the mystery out of your reserve.Fly it like you stole it!

OH MY GOD yes..you are all so right...I stand corrected, I am backing down now..the TRUE fear factor would not have been to cook it but to eat it raw and then smile while doing so. I am sorry to report that I let it slide down the drain and not my throat. Aagghhh that's so nasty! I can think of much more delightful things I would rather eat besides chicken embryo. Do it Again!

I don't know you would have to ask the racoons and coyotes, they are the only ones really keen on eating the little buggers. One of the momma kitties was missing both her front legs from tangling with a coon.....Hmmm...maybe that is why she always seemed to be the one knocked up, couldn't run from the boys.Fly it like you stole it!

I've also seen calves and horses being born, branding, neutering and slaughtering/butchering. Yeah, same here. My grandparents raise/sell chickens, eggs,geese,goats etc and we (my parents and I) have horses and cows. Things like this aren't a big deal for me. Yes, its a bit sad; life lost or never realized at all if you'd like to think of it that way, but its just that...life..nature..thats the order of things. Its funny how people have removed themselves so much from the whole process of how you end up with that nice omelet,steak, or most other food on your plate that, when confronted with the hard truth, they freak out. Most people dont want to think an animal was killed specifically for that purpose or that the natural purpose of eggs is to produce a new life. Things like this dont just magically appear pre-packaged in the grocery store, some animal had to be slaughtered for you to eat it(or in the case of the eggs, it just never made it that far).

FrogNog 1 #39 June 29, 2004 We had to vivisect chicken eggs at various stages of development in Advanced Biology in High School. Yeah, it was a little while before I went back to eating eggs. The trick is not to look too close. And throw out anything that you can tell looks funny even if you're not wearing your glasses. Edited to add: so when I see a bumper sticker or billboard noting abortion stops a beating heart or said heart beats after x days, I am reminded that I've cracked the shell off the top of precisely that, and looked down with a dissection microscope and seen the blood being pumped. And, most distressingly, all these embryonic animals died because we opened their shells. (They were probably going to die anyway, because they were totally-inbred factory chicken eggs, but still.) So, I probably wouldn't have yacked. That was a tame show and not the least bit your fault. -=-=-=-=- Pull. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was obviously referring to skycat's mention of being around farms during slaughtering and such.Always have to have atleast one smartass in the group. "...just an earthbound misfit, I."
