I mean, I have kept chickens, free roaming in an orchard. They have no interest in keeping their eggs most of the time. They get trampled or buried under straw where they go off. Occasionally you'll get a broody hen, but it's not guaranteed.

If you're trying to gross me out, it's not working. If you choose not to eat eggs, fine, I will respect your dietary choices. Even though I know it's a one way street.

Really just proving my point on cognitive dissonance.

Cognitive dissonance is the holding of two incompatible beliefs, or having beliefs at odds with your lifestyle, at the same time. This isn't that.

If you ever wonder why vegans are unpopular with the population at large, it's because your attitude towards other people while making your point sucks.

I think we found the vegan that ruins it for all the other ones. This is a post in r/books, for God’s sake, and the discussion is utterly derailed. Way to poop the party.
