Chicken and Egg Situation

Let’s start with vegetables. Vegetables (Trees, flowering plants, Turnips and so on) do not have brains.

Vegetables don’t need brains, because they draw all their nutrients from their environmant – earth, water, air.

Animals have brains.

The distinction between animal and vegetable is “brain (or not)”

Animals have brains because they have evolved to search for nutrients. Fish and sharks swim in the sea, birds and especially falcons fly in the air, Lions and Tigers and Humans walk or run along the ground.

Animals need brains to control our limbs, especially our legs. Horses brains control the legs so that the horses can move to better grazing grounds where the horses graze on grasses that cannot run away. Humans brains control the legs so that the humans can chase the horses and kill one so that the humans can eat.

Humans brains have exploded recently, and now human arms and hands can fabricate guns which can send death almost faster than a speeding bullet, which saves humans a great deal of running.

So.

A chicken (hen) is obviously an animal. It has a brain that allows it control of legs so that the chicken can forage for grain and slow-moving insects and grubs.

But a chicken lays eggs, and eggs have no legs. In particular, the egg starts off as a fertilized embryo with no legs.

So presumably at that stage of its development, the egg is a vegetable.

If this can be so, then a hen lays a vegetable that transforms into an animal, day after day after day.
