What does it mean by what area you eat first from a chocolated easter bunny?

If you eat it from the top, you're lazy, because the ears fit into the mouth the easiest. If you eat it from the bottom, you're greedy because you'll get more chocolate into your mouth, faster. Not really, I just made that up.

this question would not be able to EVER be exact. Are you looking for people that celebrate religiously or are you looking for people who hunt for eggs. to be honest with you Easter started as a pagan holiday. eggs and bunnies have nothing to do with Christ, us Christians "moved" days around so the pagans would not have a holiday of theirs.

Yes.  The zombie brought chocolate.  Or maybe that was the giant bunny in the waistcoat.  I get them confused.  :)

Here is all kinds of info about the Easter Bunny and Easter Eggs....\nhttp://001egreetings.com/1F/D/AB/index.shtml

First, it is only called Easter in Germanic language countries, in the rest of the world, it is called pascha which means passover from pesach.  Oestara had a celebration during the equinox and Pascha tends to fall near the equinox.  Gradually Christianity destroyed the religion of Oestara but the name remains as a vestige.\n\nSecond, eggs have nothing to do with Christianity, however eggs are a sign of life.  The original Easter eggs were called pysanki and had Christian images on them.  All animal products were banned during the Christian fast to replicate the pre-Noah period.  Easter was the first day Christians could eat eggs so they dedicated them to Christ through art.  The practice of decorating eggs preceeds Christianity but Christianity coopted it.  In fact, Easter basked with eggs, cheese and meat are blessed every Easter morning following the Resurrection services for the first meal of the day.\n\nRabbits reproduce at extraordinary rates, they are a symbol of life and innocence.  It also is the case that a handful of societies worshipped animals and Easter falling near the solstice happens to overlap many other observances.  Christianity co-opted other people symbols to destroy their religion.  They took the bunny over in the process.

A vegetarian, not likely. Through the design of creation of happenstance or evolution (which is a different argument, for another time) I am at a certain place in the food chain, as is the rabbit. So as a result I will allow the rabbit to eat his food, and I will in-turn eat the rabbit.

Oh goody, Zork.  It is a Grue.\nYou will likely be eaten by a Grue.

The glass isn't half full or empty.  Somebody used the wrong size glass.\n\nChicken comes first in the dictionary at least in English.  In Spanish huevo comes before pollo.\n\nI don't know about milk, but who was the first one to watch a chicken lay an egg and say "I'm gonna eat what came out of that bird's behind."

Really, it means you can't leave the cake intact (and enjoy it in that way) and also eat it (and enjoy it in that way) since by eating it you are cutting it.\nThis is a perfectly fine expression.  Explain the meaning to your friend.

The Easter Bunny is one among many pagan symbols associated with the Christian Easter holiday.  In fact, even the name of the holiday "Easter" is a pagan reference to the pagan goddess of spring, Eostre.  The bunny is a pagan symbol of fertility.  The eggs are also a sign of fertility.  Don't ask me why the bunny brings the eggs...I don't know what that bunny was doing to the chicken!\n\nIt's generally understood that, in order to reduce conflict and increase adoption of the Catholic faith (which has been the dominant "version" of Christianity for most centuries), the Catholic Church integrated many pagan symbols, festivals, etc. into Christian holidays.  Christmas, for example, is another solstice celebration that borrowed many elements from pagan Mithrasism and Saturnalia.

Actually, the Easter Bunny has everything to do with Easter. \n\nEaster is derived from an ancient Germanic name for the month of April, Eostremonat--or rather Eostre Month, in dedication to the goddess Eostre. Eostre, or Ostara was a German goddess of fertility and her return was marked by the coming of spring and the sun. The Ost in her name refers to the East--the rising of the sun. The rebirth of the day and the rebirth of the spring were her specialties, and her celebrations occured during the vernal equinox--the first day of spring. Of course calendar dates have gotten juggled about for quite a few different reasons over time and now April is no longer where it once was on the calendar at what is now March 21st.\n\nThe rabbit was a traditional symbol of the goddess because of its great fertility, and the fact that the coming of spring marked the time when all of the little bunnies were seen starting to be born.\n\nWhen Christianity became the predominant religion it was an easy transition to introduce the rebirth of the Christ figure into the already extant birth and rebirth tradition. Old ways die hard, and the bunny stuck around. \n\nAlthough there are several explanations for the eggs the Easter bunny brings, (other than eggs are another traditional symbol of birth/rebirth) the most likely is that eggs were forbidden during the fast of lent, and were decorated and eaten in abundance to mark the end of the fast.\n\nGerman protestants although breaking with Roman Catholocism liked the egg tradition and kept it. And when German immigrants came to America, they brought with them the traditions of the Osterhase (Easter hare) and his eggs.\n\nInasmuch as Christianity has stolen the ancient goddess' name for their own holiday, it seems only fitting that its original mascot still puts in an appearance each year.

It is thought that the hunt for eggs came first, with no association to the rabbit. Eggs were traditionally given out at the start of Spring in Egypt and Persia. Then, as children searched for the eggs, they flushed out rabbits and hence began the stories of the rabbits leaving the eggs.\n\nContinued at http://001egreetings.com/1F/D/AB/index.shtml

Chocolate works.  Similar to sheep being both plural and singular, but better tasting.

German Protestants wanted to retain the Catholic custom of eating colored eggs for Easter, but did not want to introduce their children to the Catholic rite of fasting. Eggs were forbidden to Catholics during the fast of Lent, which was the reason for the abundance of eggs at Easter time.\n\nThe idea of an egg-laying rabbit came to the United States in the 18th century. German immigrants in the Pennsylvania Dutch area told their children about the "Osterhase" (also: "Oschter Haws"). "Hase" means "hare", not rabbit, and in Northwest European folklore the "Easter Bunny" indeed is a hare, not a rabbit.\n\nOnly good children received gifts of colored eggs in the nests that they made in their caps and bonnets before Easter. Presumably, the Oschter Haws laid them when the children were not looking.\n\nA hundred years later Jakob Grimm wrote of long-standing similar myths in Germany itself. Noting many related landmarks and customs, Grimm suggested that these derived from legends of Ostara.
