Re:Egg Prices Are Soaring. Are Backyard Chickens the Answer? by throwmeme888 on Thursday February 20, 2025 @07:03AM (#43113702)
eggs are homogenous in nature, so a blind test between two eggs can reveal the superior quality of one type of homogenous product. Especially when it is an egg, which is entirely "natural"

a chicken nugget is not the same thing as whole chicken, because it has many chemicals, additives, flavouring agents, msg, organ meat, etc and is then battered or crumbed and deep fried before being packed. It also has a different texture altogether, and is eaten with the hands which children find easier than using cutlery.

compare a child tasting two different varieties of dark chocolate in comparison to a milk chocolate with caramel filling, or two varieties of whole milk to chocolate skim milk, et cetera.

You are right. My point wasn’t that chicken and eggs are the same or even similar.

What I wanted to convey is just because kids have a preference for something doesn’t mean it is better. So more a flaw in the syllogism.
