nami438 90 March 27, 2015 Share March 27, 2015 I meant that it's not weird that they have glue - I was pointing out that non-animal glue has been used for millenia by human societies, let alone pony ones. Sorry if that wasn't clear! ^^; Oh, thank you I got worried for a moment! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitalSpark 1,830 March 27, 2015 Share March 27, 2015 (edited) I'm at least glad that they don't eat meat They totally do eat meat! (Or seem to.) I was just watching Fall Weather Friends this morning, and Pinkie talks about competing in a hot dog eating contest. Now it's possible they only have vegetarian hot dogs made out of some meat substitute, but until canon contradicts it, my new headcanon is that ponies are at least occasional carnivores. Are the fish sentient? All creatures in Octonauts are sentient. Even coral seems to be.

fabrarity 138 March 27, 2015 Share March 27, 2015 It might be weird if they put red meat in, but not so much eggs. There is quite a few differences between meat and say milk or eggs, a main one being you don't kill anything to get them. yeah, i'm a vegetarian and i completely agree to this. 1 may your day be filled with... sparkles, sequins, glitter, and shiny stuff -fabrarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitalSpark 1,830 March 27, 2015 Share March 27, 2015 When you think about it them having milk or red meat, thats kinda like us eating and milking monkeys People do eat monkeys. There is quite a few differences between meat and say milk or eggs, a main one being you don't kill anything to get them. You have a charming view of the egg/dairy industry. Pray tell me, what do you think they do with the male animals? You know, the ones that can't lay eggs or produce milk? Do you think they allow them to frolic and gambol in flower-filled meadows? Perhaps in Equestria they do, but not in our world. ~VitalSpark~ [fimfiction] [deviantart] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunflowerPrincess 345 March 27, 2015 Share March 27, 2015 Since it's been shown that eggs are used in bakery, and I can't see any other reason to raise chicken if you don't eat them (can chicken feathers be used to fill pillows? That could be a reason to raise chicken), yes, ponies use eggs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know full well what happens to them. I haven't been able to eat processed food ever since I mad the mistake of watching Food Inc. I'd like to imagine that ponies have a much "cleaner" system in place.

speedyblupi 76 March 27, 2015 Share March 27, 2015 I was just watching Fall Weather Friends this morning, and Pinkie talks about competing in a hot dog eating contest. It's also stated in the song "You've got to care..." that the ponies are vegetarian. But on both occasions it's Pinkie Pie speaking, so we can't really know for sure, considering that she's completely insane and breaks the laws of logic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cwanky 17,590 March 28, 2015 Share March 28, 2015 Scientifically speaking, the eggs we normally eat never actually form into a fetus to begin with. They're just that - potential babies. Actually, from my understanding the eggs are frozen after being harvested long before any chance that a fetus can form, so the incubation is cut out entirely required to hatch the egg. Besides that, many vegans find it perfectly acceptable to consume eggs. No living creature is harmed or killed. As for the ponies, its widely known that they consume eggs. Heck Rarity here made breakfast with eggs for her parents: There is by the way such a thing as an egg product with a fetus inside of it. Its called balut: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth is life 76 March 28, 2015 Share March 28, 2015 But people never made glue from human remains, I don't think?! Did they?? They made paint. Oh, and medicine. Does that count? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Testa 5,505 March 30, 2015 Share March 30, 2015 (edited) Or how about the glue that the fillies use in arts and crafts I'm surprised I haven't seen grimdarks about this lol As much as they don't seem to eat meat, they are clearly not pure vegetarian either. Where did the cheese in that cheese Sandwich that Weird Al pony is named after come from? They consume dairy, but are predominantly vegetarian.

Misty Rose 3,216 March 30, 2015 Share March 30, 2015 I've seen eggs used in baking a few times in the show Also Rarity straight up made sunny side up eggs to eat in Sisterhooves Social So y'all just have to accept that eggs are a part of their eating diet 1 My OC: http://mlpforums.com...pink-mist-r3726 TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF ME HERE!!

colt_following 169 May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 Yes, ponies in MLP:FiM are a bit humanized, they also have leather for example. Goodness, that is as horrifying as this... (am i allowed to do that?)

The Awesome One 1,315 May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 I think the creators of the show suddenly forgot that eggs are used in making these baked foods. Maybe they are just a little but humanized and they are not full vegtarian but they will never eat meat and eggs are fine it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMac 3,085 May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 Well, they're vegetarians not vegans so I guess they would eat eggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetolebob18 728 May 5, 2015 Share May 5, 2015 I grew up in the boonies & some of my neighbors had chickens. It depends on if the eggs are fertilized or not. If you are planning on eating the eggs, you keep the hens away from roosters (not always easy). But, unfertilized eggs will never hatch so would be ok to eat.
