Reply to comment by [deleted] in Eggs are liquid meat by ZachTheCommie

Definitely more than one. To be the x of something, there has to be something else. Otherwise it's just the thing in it's entirety. But that is just the first obvious idiocy of the statement. Tons of stuff come from animals that no one would call meat. So a better question would be, whywould it be considered meat?

If you consider semen as meat, then sure, eggs are also meat. And so is skin, testicles, eyeballs, intestines, etc

It has the genetic material to grow parts, not the parts themselves. Is the cell also blood? And eyes? And beak? It's got the genetic material to grow those as well.

This is why we have actual checklists for what qualifies as what with food. So twits don't look at corn and seeds, shrug their shoulders, and declare "well, when a chicken eats its it'll become more chicken, so I guess it's chicken."
