Answer 14

There are sevral types of answers to your question.

There is a theory that maybe country eggs are nonveg cos they are fertilised eggs and one in farm are veg cos they are unfertilized.

"Vegans" will not eat anything that comes from an animal, which includes, milk, eggs, cheese and butter etc....?

"Ovolacto" vegetarians consider such animal related foods acceptable, but still will not eat meat.

Then there are those vegetarians who will eat fish, poultry and their bi products but not any other meat.

So in response I'd have to say that there is not any clear definition as to whether an egg constitutes vegetarianism or not.

Answer 25

eggs are usually commercially produced so chicken eggs intended for human consumption are unfertilized, since the laying hens are kept without roosters.

there is no developing embryo in commercially manufactured eggs, so they are vegetarian.

however, many cultures still abstain from eating eggs because chickens are often mistreated in the process and because eggs have the potential to be a chicken, although that possibility is ruled out by manufacturers.

i'm vegetarian, and i eat eggs in cakes/cookies, but not scrambled eggs and such. i'm just not very fond of them.
