Do you eat eggs?

Question

I'm a vegatarian myself, and I do like to eat eggs. Just wondering what other people's opinion on the matter is.

Answer 1

Nope, I don't eat eggs.

Answer 2

Yes I do.  I have my own chickens & they supply me with lots of yummy eggs.  My birds are free-range and I don't kill them when they're done producing, either.

Sausage and fresh eggs make the absolute BEST Sunday morning breakfast, especially if you drank like a sinner on Saturday night.

Answer 3

if you eat eggs  your not a vegatarian.....just adressing your lable.  ONLY EAT FRESH RAW FRUITS AND VEGGIES FOR OPTIMAL HEALTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PERIOD!!! ANYTHING ELSE IS A NOTCH DOWN FROM PERFECT

Answer 4

Yup.  I used to be pure vegan, but went back to vegetarian when pregnant (only because I developed an adversion to tofu and soy products for the first trimester).  I don't drink cows milk, but I enjoy eggs and a little bit of cheese.  In fact, Friday night supper is usually an omlette!

Answer 5

I personally eat eggs, but as with everything, it is your choice.  I became a veg based on not eating red meat and then it evolved into no meat.

Many baked items have eggs in them and I have decided that  eggs and cheese are OK for me.  Maybe someday I will become Vegan, just not yet.

Answer 6

Yes I enjoy eating eggs, and as the eggs that you buy are unfertilized, you are not eating baby chickens.

Answer 7

No, I don't eat eggs (I'm a vegan.)

It isn't because I consider it eating meat (since most commercial eggs are unfertilized.) Eggs are a product of factory farming, which means that the chickens are kept in extremely small cages with very poor sanitation. Chicken farms also cut off the beaks of the birds when they're young to keep them from pecking each other (because they don't have enough space) and feed them lots of hormones. Even "free range" eggs probably aren't produced under very humane conditions, since it isn't hard for chicken farms to get that label. "Free range" is more of a marketing ploy surrounded by hype than an actual improvement.

I guess if I got to see the chickens and they were in a really good environment (like if they were pets or something) I might eat the eggs... but I wouldn't eat storebought eggs.

Answer 8

Okay an egg is nothing more than nutrients that feed the chicken and a small little housing for the sperm. There is not chicken in an unferterlized egg. They are as much alive as your menstral blood.(sorry that was gross but it is true) the whites and yellows in the egg feed the fetus. So you really are eating baby chicken feed lol

Answer 9

i do not eat eggs but i eat things made with them (such as cake, bread, etc.)

i don't like the idea that eggs are produced teh same way meat is.  the animals still suffer a lot and end up as meat anyway.

just not ready to go vegan.  this is like an in between for me.  same with milk.

Answer 10

I guess it's fine to eat eggs.

Vegatarians just don't eat meat or chicken broth or things that you have to kill an animal to eat.

A vegas is when you don't eat anything that comes from an animal. Like eggs, or milk.

Answer 11

Eggs are perfectly okay for vegetarians, they are not baby chickens, nor would I consider them meat.

I just hate eggs. The taste and texture is yucky too me.

Answer 12

Many vegetarians choose to eat eggs, because, of course, they are not meat.

I don't eat them because, in any egg producing company, chicks are sexed at a day or two of age, and the males are thrown into large garbage bags and left to suffocate.

Answer 13

HumanRace  you are right on track!!!!  You are right and if anyone gave you a thumb down it's because they don't do their research!

Answer 14

Whether you eat eggs or not, if you dont eats meat, then your a vegetarian.

If you DO eat eggs, then you will have ' ovo ' infront of your vegetarian name.

If you DONT eat eggs, then you wont have ' ovo ' infront of your vegetarian name.

Lacto means dairy

Ovo means egg

Im a Lacto-ovo vegetarian because I eat dairy products and eggs, but no meat. actually I may be a Lacto-vegetarian cause I really dont eat egs very often. I eat them like every 3 weeks.

So if you dont eat eggs your either a lacto-vegetarian or Vegan.

Answer 15

No, I'm vegan.

I don't eat eggs because of the inhumane conditions laying hens are raised in and because of the wholesale slaughter of male chicks.  Laying hens in commercial operations are stuffed into small battery cages with half a dozen others; each has a space about the size of a sheet of notebook paper, not enough to stretch her wings.  Each hen has her beak seared off with a hot knife to prevent her pecking her cage mates to death in response to the stress of such cramped conditions.  Male chicks are of no value to a laying operation so they are killed as soon as they are sexed, either by grinding or suffocation.  When a hen's production slows, she's deprived of food and light for several day in a process called forced moulting, which is meant to start a new laying cycle.  In the end, though, her production value declines to the point that she's slaughtered for dog food and chicken nuggets.  The terms "cage free" and "free range" are legally meaningless and do not mean the hens have any better quality of life.  Then there's the c**p (literally) that they're fed and the chemicals they're injected with, not to mention the foot and leg deformities from living a life standing on wire.  The whole thing is pretty sick.

I don't have any particular ethical objection to someone keeping their own hens as companion animals, treating them well and making use of the eggs.  But that's not reality for most people.

Answer 16

I'm vegan so I don't eat eggs. Of course, I'd encourage anyone to be vegan because I think it's great... many vegetarians aren't aware that the egg and dairy industries are often as cruel as the meat industries. If you watch hidden camera footage from egg factory farms, you will be appalled. Those chickens have a life just as miserable, if not more miserable, than chickens used as meat.

I was vegetarian for almost 10 years, and eventually faced up to what I had wanted to do all along - become vegan. It is much easier to do than I thought! I've been happily vegan for a couple of years now, and will never go back to eating eggs and dairy. For those who can't bear to get rid of eggs and dairy, I encourage you whole-heartedly to find a local farmer, visit the farm to make sure that the animals are treated humanely ("free-range", etc. doesn't always ensure that the animals are treated well). Then buy your eggs and dairy from local farms... This is much healthier for your body and your conscience :)

Answer 17

Nah, I'm a vegan and don't see the need to eat eggs anymore, you can get the nutrients from them  at other places, and in one egg is your guideline daily amount of cholesterol.

I loved them at one point, and you find them in loads of foods to.

You can substitute them in cooking with other ingredients

Instead of 1 egg, you can use...

1 tbsp gram (chick pea) or soya flour and 1 tbsp water

1 tbsp arrowroot, 1 tbsp soya flour and 2 tbsp water

2 tbsp flour, 1/2 tbsp shortening, 1/2 tsp baking powder and 2 tsp water

50g tofu blended with the liquid portion of the recipe

1/2 large banana, mashed

50 ml white sauce

I have no problems with other people eating eggs though.

Answer 18

There are differnet kinds of vegetarians.  Vegans are more strick, I am a semi/demi vegetarian.  I don't eat meat or poultry, but I do eat eggs (very occasionally) cheese too.  I eat fish as well (if I didn't then my diet would be very restricted)

Answer 19

I was a vegetarian for five months before becoming vegan.

I don't eat eggs because I simply don't feel the need to. I believe it's cruel to exploit the chicken's natural product so that I can have an egg. Even when the eggs are labelled 'free-range' or 'organic', the laws in place do not completely control how the chickens were kept. The eggs are a fundamental part of a chicken's life cycle, even though it is unfertilised.

Becoming an lacto-vegetarian will decrease your cholesterol intake considerably and you may lose weight (not saying you need to) and become healthier.

Plus, do you not think it's weird that eggs are a chicken's period.

Answer 20

yes only if your a vegan which means nothing coming from an animal would you not eat eggs or if your just a lacto-vegetarian where you have dairy products but no eggs

Answer 21

I think that if you are a vegetarian, you shouldn't eat eggs. It is a baby chicken that you're eating.
