  1. They don't eat a chicken because chicken is not fish/seafood which is what  pescetarians prefer (pesce=fish). Eggs, the ones that you can get from the store, do not have chicken embryos. They are technically chicken "periods", unfertilized eggs. So they are not really eating any chickens when they have chicken eggs. (or any poultry eggs for that matter)


  2. A vegetarian would not eat any meat.  A vegan wouldn't have any meat, dairy, or eggs.  Eggs are not meat.  A pescetarian is a vegetarian who doesn't eat meat but eats fish.  Pescetarians can eat eggs.  

  3. A chicken doesn't have to die for an egg, but I still try to buy cage free eggs so that I know that the chickens weren't treated poorly.  At least that's what we're supposed to think, right?

  4. They can't.  A pescetarian is like a vegan who eats fish.

  5. Eggs aren´t fertalized.

    Therefore, having no chance of becoming a chicken.

  6. The egg was never a living thing.  It was never fertilized.

  7. An egg isn't a chicken any more than a period is a person.

    It's unfertilized.

  8. well, chickens are alive. eggs are not.

    that being said, egg production involves cruelty of a different kind, and that's why vegans don't eat eggs or drink milk.

  9. vegetarians eat eggs too...
