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."

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?

Avoirdupois is a system of measuring weight based on the fact that sixteen ounces are in a pound. The metric system is based on grams, and the avoirdupois system is based on pounds. - That's freedom units they're talking about.

And from the Avoirdupois System Wikipedia page - In 1959, by international agreement, the definitions of the pound and ounce became standardized in countries which use the pound as a unit of mass. The International Avoirdupois Pound was then created. It is the everyday system of weights used in the United States. It is still used, in varying degrees, in everyday life in the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and some other former British colonies, despite their official adoption of the metric system.

Geeze. Finding out your mom lies to you while being lonely...tough break. Makes you wonder what else she lied about.

Did your dog really go to a farm upstate? Well too much self love really make you go billing? Damn; is she even your mom?

That's gotta be rough.
