Comment on How and why did humans start consuming chicken eggs?
FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 months ago
We’ve probably always foraged eggs from birds from before we were even modern humans.
Eggs are an easy source of protein and calories that don’t take much of a fight.
Chances are the un fertilized egg (what we use today, generally,) probably got started being used when they domesticated chickens sometime around 5,000 BCE (iirc,) in south east Asia.
Egyptians, Greeks, Roman’s all had robust poultry. ( even Mars loved him some fried chicken,)

That still doesn’t explain how chocolate eggs come out of a rabbit’s ass…

Do you really want to know?
It’s simple. You tie up the rabbit so it can’t move, then you force feed it chocolate.
Then you force it to shit into a mold. while it’s still warm it becomes egg-shaped.
(actually I never understood that one either, I’m just making shit up here. though. not the cruelest thing we’ve ever done for food.)

It’s paganism and the christians back in the day wanted to make it easier for the pagans to convert so they added pagan holidays and made them christian holidays. Which is why Easter has eggs and bunnies. Both are fertile idols in paganism and are in spring.
