Why dont some vegetarians eat eggs?
Answers:
Vegans don't eat eggs because they are from animals. Many vegans disagree with eating animal products for various reasons- the strain that animal farming puts on the planet, the conditions the animals are kept in etc. Others think that eating an egg is like killing a potential chicken- which of course is wrong as the eggs we eat are unfertillised. It's like saying you're killing a potential human everytime you get rid of a sanitary towel!
because they are vegans and eggs come from chickens
because they dont want to eat chicken periods. unfertilized embryos.
I guess it's because the egg would have turned into a living animal. I'm a vegetarian and do eat eggs, but only free range but i still feel guilty.
these tryp of vegetarians are called vegans.
its because they dont believe in eating meat and things that they have produced. these are:
milk, cheese, yoghurt, eggs, maybe butter.
The answer lies somewhere deep within your question and is loosely connected to the word "vegetarians".
I LOVE vegetarian food - it goes so well with meat.
Because they come from chickens....therefore, animals.
Some vegetarians don't eat any products that come from animals so no eggs or cheese or milk. These people are known as vegans. I don't think I could go through life with no cheese.
it's bcos (a) they simply don't agree with me
and (b) certain people have different
viewpoints on products which could conceivably have life.
the egg is part way to life but it isn't.
occasionally i will have white but even then i am
careful as to whether the product will play a few tricks!
i will occasionally have products that contain egg but it is a rarity and i don't really like it.
Because some day they would have hatched into cute fluffy chicks.
Some people are vegetarian for different reasons.
I have a friend who is vegetarian because its a religious pre-requisite.
My mum is a vegetarian because she doesn't agree with animal cruelty, but is not against the principle of eating meat. She has started to eat "cruelty -free" meat and eats fish and dairy.
I have another friend to is vegetarian because he was bought up that way and simply cannot eat meat.
I have another Friend to is vegetarian because God told him to stop eating meat.
It all depends on why their a vegetarian.
I am pescatarian (no meat, but eat seafood) I don't eat eggs only because I am allergic to them. Love em tho!
Because eggs pop out of chickens' asses, not grow on egg trees
Vegetarians who eat milk and eggs are often referred to a Lacto-ovo-vegetarians.
A lot of vegetarians believe that it is wrong to use animal by-products such as leather, or to eat animal products such as milk and eggs, as the animals are exploited to obtain these.
To produce cows milk requires the cow to have had a calf, which is then removed so that she continues to lactate - and is milked. The calves are usually sent for veal production if they are males or used to replace old stock if a female or killed. The cow has to have a calf every year - this is exploitation.
The chickens are are kept apart from the cockrels and their natural laying instinct is exploited by continually removing the eggs. The hen lays eggs until it either dies from poor health, or becomes too old to lay and is killed - this is exploitation.
Because of the reasons given above and..
1.) Health reasons...there is cholesterol in eggs. Heart attacks and strokes are high on list of causes of death in this country..Cholesterol contributes to that.
2.)Humane Reasons.Chickens are kept in overcrowded factory farms to lay eggs. They are forced to keep laying them until they are unable to and are calcium deficient from too much egg laying...then they are shipped to the slaughter for stew chickens.
3) Environmental Reasons. Often around factory farms, the chicken manure can leak into creeks and streams and mess up the environment in the area.
4) Another Health Reason. Sometimes you can get samonella from eating eggs if they are contaminated with it.
Eggs are considered to be a meat.
That is a difference between vegetarians and vegans
Vegetarians don't eat meat but vegans dont eat any product from animals
It is a rule in their religion not to eat eggs as they are killing a life when eating an egg also.
Because eggs come from chicken, and many chickens die in the process and are tortured. Many people are vegans and strict vegetarians because of animal rights, like myself.
They come from animals. The egg laying hens are kept in tiny cages with 3 to 7 birds in one cage. If they are in a barn, they are crammed in there. Eggs are full of cholesterol. They are fatty.
I guess some do so because of the cruelty to Chickens in battery and supermarket-led "free range" farms, which are nothing more than battery farms in the open air. The chickens they use a a cross, normally between Roade Island Red and Buffs to give a, egg laying machine that is killed at 1 year old and pumped full of hormone laced food.
Many vegetarians avoid milk for similar objection to the death of bull dairy calves.and the way the cows are treated.
The definition of a vegetarian is someone who does not eat meat, fish, poultry or slaughter by-products.
All the known vegetarian societies use this defintion.
An unfertilised egg will never be a life so that is an arguement based on a falsehood.
I'm veggie, i eat eggs from our free range hens that, to be honest, have a better life than me.
Adam, when you say "My mum is a vegetarian because she doesn't agree with animal cruelty, but is not against the principle of eating meat. She has started to eat "cruelty -free" meat and eats fish and dairy" I assume you mean "my mum used to be a vegetarian"
Steph d, feel free to find the truth before posting, it looks so much better than guessing !
because eggs are not vegetables
Some vegetarians don't eat eggs because of the cruelty to animals involved with battery hens. Most vegetarians will only eat non-battery eggs, so not barn eggs either because that means nothing, meaning that most vegetarians who eat eggs will only eat free-range organic eggs.
I saw a woman in a supermarket the other day with a Louis Vuitton handbag buying Moet et Chandon champagne, a pile of other stuff and economy eggs. The temptation to key her car was almost irrestible. Decent eggs are really not that much more. Not when you're buying the things she was at any rate.
I eat eggs, but I have my own chickens. Before I got them, and after going vegetarian, I only bought free-range eggs.
To the people who said "because it would have become a chicken"... that's usually not true. Commercial egg farms do not produce fertilized eggs. Chickens will lay whether there is a rooster around or not... and the conditions in most factory egg farms are not conducive to natural breeding.
I think the MAIN reason why VEGETARIANS don't eat eggs is because of the cruelty involved with the production of them. (Vegans don't eat anything that came from an animal. Period.) Have you ever been by an egg farm? It's pretty gross. Chickens are shoulder to shoulder in wire cages. Some are pecked to death, others are malformed because of broken legs/wings due to the wire confinement. Their beaks are usually seared off to avoid injury to other birds. Each day's HEAP of dead birds (those who couldnt' take it any longer) get piled up outside the doors to be disposed of with a big tractor.
At least free-range chickens have a decent life (presumably). Although the only way to be certain, is to have your own.
thats a vegan. they don't eat or use anything that comes from animals. my sister thinks of eating eggs as eating aborted babies.
this is why I don't eat eggs(look)

Because it comes from a chicken
I eat eggs and drink milk and eat cheese as Im not eating a dead animal which is what I want to avoid
they r non developed chickens
& veg don't take non veg
Why does anyone eat eggs would be a better question. They are the unfertilised ovum from a bird and if you were to dwell on where they come from it just makes me puke.
