Apparently my religion is a phase AND not good enough!

Its possible it can happen. Were these eggs from some small, independent place? Generally with factory farms it is impossible for this to happen.

Two yolks can happen in a single egg as well. Rare, but it can happen.

i had a carton full of double yolkers but it did come from a chicken farm and this was what was screened out and couldn't go to the supermarket.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

I've actually seen a triple yolk. I've only seen one, and it was shown around among the relatives, as it was a really rare thing. It was a big egg, too. Long and narrow, with not much to tell you which end was which. Weird.

Came from one of those big fat white garden variety chickens.

Honestly, I don't know why certain people have to be right all the time.

Because they know they'll never be much of anything else.

...the guy keeps complaining that I shouldn't eat something with a soul.

I would have looked at him with the Death Stare (patent pending), and said very quietly, "if you don't shut up about it, you're gonna be the next soul on my plate."

For some reason, I sometimes scare people. I have no idea why.

I've heard of (and seen) the far worse reactions non-Christians usually get.

I love it when someone says something like "That's not very Christian of you." Because I can reply with impunity, "I'm not a Christian." Descended from Jews. Raised by atheists. Leaning towards paganist beliefs. So don't lecture me on something being "Christian," as it doesn't apply to me.

Well that's not very Christian of you...

I believe in something, just not quite sure what. I've experienced too much weird stuff to not believe in the paranormal at least slightly, and heard too many logical fallacies from a certain religion to take much stock in it anymore.

[BookstoreEscapee]

I remember I saw a half formed dead chick in one of my eggs, blood and all. It was a LONG time before I ate eggs again. So yeah, some eggs are fertilized I suppose. That SC needs to calm the heck down, tho. And once I saw two yolks in one egg. Twins?

I've heard of that but I've never seen it. I did get an egg with a white yolk once. Apparently the color depends on how much of certain nutrients they get in their diet, so I guess this one was lacking. I had hard-boiled them for egg salad, and when I went to mash it up I cut it in half and it was the weirdest thing (actually, there's a thread about it somewhere). I googled to see if it was OK to eat, and all I found was some guy's blog with a few hundred comments, several of which were along the lines of "I found this white yolk, and googled it cuz I didn't know if it was OK to eat, and all I found was this blog"


/too picky to be a vegeterian, let alone vegan. I'd starve.

[Argus]

I believe that meat is murder.

Tasty, tasty oh-so-delicious murder.

I am reminded of this: http://www.offworlddesigns.com/p-546...r-t-shirt.aspx

I should point out that in the Jewish ritual law, fish are not in fact considered "meat",

That explains why, when Catholics give up meat for lent, they eat fish. Never made sense to me until now.

Now I myself am an animist who was= raised in a Christian family. My parents are cool with my belief system, but I tend not to really discuss it with people. Mostly because I don't believe it really matters.

Yeah that's how I am when it comes to the vegan debate. Don't know about rocks and stuff, but I never saw the difference between killing a plant to eat it and killing an animal to eat it.

I heard once about someone who claimed to be a "windfall vegan." They went so far into the "don't kill living things to eat" end of the spectrum that they would only eat food that had naturally fallen off the plant and thereby perished of natural causes. I haven't heard anything since then about it, and suspect the concept is actually made up.

I do have a friend that is vegan by necessity rather than lifestyle choice, though. She's allergic to just about everything edible, and is forced into a very strict vegan menu in order to not die. So far her three children seem to have only inherited some of her allergies. This is the same friend that had to switch allergists because her first refused to believe that she was actually allergic to milk and just thought she was lactose intolerant.

Well, allow me to do some very "Christian" things then. Such as...wait, no. If I go where I was going, this would be so far into fratching it would be out the other side. Never mind.

For the squeamish or easily offended, do not highlight my next comment, which is in white for that very reason. So skip it. These are not the droids you're looking for. Move along.

Animals scream. LOL!!!!

She's allergic to just about everything edible...

I have a friend who, while not that bad, has a whole shitload of allergies that make her diet....complicated. As I recall, she's allergic to [deep breath] seafood, dairy, eggs, mushrooms, and coconuts. The last two aren't that bad, but the first three make eating...challenging for her. Think about baked goods. Eggs or dairy, she can't eat them. Etc., etc. Meats are fine for her, oddly enough, but her restrictions are plentiful. Half the food I cook for cookoffs, she can't eat. My chili was actually 100% safe for her, but sadly, she could not get that day off. Since my wings sauce will almost definitely have butter in it, it seems that she won't be able to try it...which sucks, because she's fun, and I like to feed her.

I can't get the text to be the same colour as the quote box, so if you don't want to read Jester's whited-out text, skip this post.

Not if you do it right.

[Andara Bledin]

What's wrong with breeding? You are telling two of nature's creatures to do something natural: fuck. How is this a bad thing?

It's not, in and of itself.

It's just that to get a cow to give milk, you have to make the cow have a calf. But if you don't eat meat (and I would assume, don't wear leather for the same reasons), then what do you do with that calf?

^-.-^

You might consider this sacreligious, but you could make the wings sauce with margarine.

My housemate and I are having to process a few thousand equal opportunities monitoring forms that were sent out with bus pass applications...to over 60s. The answers to the open 'What is your faith or philosophical belief system' question have been...interesting, and unlike sexual orientation, religion is fair game. I wrote about them earlier in some thread, but now we're actually having to process them...

Had one today who openly admitted their religion as 'homophobic racist'... our manager refused to have it on the database and told us to put it as 'No response'.

Me, well it's the Census this weekend over here, and I'm putting a big fat 'Apatheist' in my religion question. I like unnerving some individuals with answers like: "Have I found Jesus? Yeah, he was down the back of the sofa the whole time!!"

As for nom preferences? Too fussy to be vegetarian and unfortunately the few vegans I've been in contact with have made me want to threaten to eat them!! I love a good medium-rare rump steak

[Dave1982]

OK folks, we're starting to get pretty far into Fratching territory. Let's try to keep on point here.
