Unless you purchase fertilized eggs, there are no baby chickens inside. The egg is meant to nourish the growing embryo with the yolk, while cushioning it with the white. The egg is made up of animal proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids--so, even if not technically meat, it *is* an animal product.
Since this is Thanksgiving, I will not go into any details. However, I will say that commercial egg ranches do not keep any roosters. (Even if they sell fertilized eggs, they only need one rooster per dozen or so hens.) However, when baby chicks are produced for use in egg production, half of them are baby roosters. I will leave it up to you to figure out the disparity. Don't mention it to your vegetarian relative.
Thank you for the informative post!
That sounds like some population control logic by an Abortionist.
