Actually, it's worse than that... a chicken egg is the unfertilized egg cell, plus the lining and tissue that would have become the placenta if the egg cell had been fertilized... I'm not going to say what that's called in human women.Also, when we eat eggs (this may sound disgusting) we're actually eating chicken placenta. There are actually some countries that consider human placenta to be a delicacy. *shudders at that thought*
And it can't be worse than kim'chi.
Kimchi is a generic name for a multitude of seasonal and regional varieties of pickled or fermented vegetable side dishes flavored with seafood and spices, and high in vitamins, minerals, and lactic acid.
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.
If Demolition Man were remade today
Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
And the Korean variety, at least, consists of fiery, fetid inedibles that will with even the merest taste make your breath capable of knocking the steam out of a packmule's fart at 90 yards.
This condition cannot be changed for at least two weeks short of brushing your teeth with bleach.
Killer whales will fling young seals about with their tails, apparently for fun, before they eat them.Animals that do eat meat kill for survival: whether that's protection or for food.
While they're still alive.
On the other hand, I do not condone unneccesary violence or suffering towards animals. For example, I buy free-range over battery chicken, where possible. However, humans are omnivores. We do not have the proper digestive system to live efficiently off of vegetables (our appendix is vestigal, for a start, and we can't digest cellulose). The animals we eat are not self-aware, and if we didn't eat them, they wouldn't exist in the first place. Call it a symbiosis, if you like. We feed the animals, allow them to breed, protect them from predators and illness, and then we consume them. From a species point of view its a win-win. However, because these species are almost entirely dependant on us, whereas we are no longer entirely depenant on then, you could see it as a favour to the animals that we still raise them for food. Otherwise, evolutionarliy, they'd be toast.
Whew, that was longer than it needed to be...
