Which kind of food is Egg weg r non weg.?!


Question: The Hindu form of vegetarianism does not consider eggs to be vegetarian.

I'm not Indian, but I'm married to a Hindu lady and I follow that kind of diet.

However, western vegetarians unusually consider eggs to be vegetarian.

Maybe the eggs sold in American dhukans are always unfertilized now, but that wasn't always true. My family cooked eggs back in the 1960s when I was child; some of the eggs would show signs of blood or even a little chicken embryo forming.

It always disturbed me a little to see that. When I became vegetarian, I decided not to eat eggs (I never really cared to eat them anyway).

If other countries follow the same kind of factory farming that is practiced in the USA, I have no idea. Do people sell chicken eggs for food in India? If they do, I would suspect that at least some of the eggs are fertilized as they were when I was a child. I have only been to India once; sabziwallas would come to the neighborhood with carts selling fruits and vegetables. Maybe things are done differently in different parts of India, but I doubt if they have the same mass produced eggs like they have in the USA.

Non-veg

It doesn't belong to WEG or non-WEG

but belongs to Non veg

Natural eggs are non veg and artificial eggs are veg.

Egg is non weg.

VEG IS NOT EGG & EGG IS NOT VEG BUT ITS A SON / DAUGHTER OF CHICKEN SO IT WILL BE BETTER TO ASK HER /HIS MOM WHAT IS THAT?

You should first know how eggs are produced - then you can come to conclusion whether it is veg or non-veg.

Actually all female animals (including human) undergo mensuration cycle. At end of each cycle, the unused eggs are released out. This is what we call it as period.

If egg is fertilized, it develops into baby in mammals. Babies grow in womb. But in case of chicks (and other egg laying animals), if the egg is fertilized (by male), still it is released out and babies grow in that.

Now that all eggs are from broiler - where there is no contact between hen and ****, the broiler eggs are considered as veg (as there is no living chick inside this egg - its just normal mensural output).

Lax is right - though I think he/she meant 'menstrual' rather than 'mensural,' which is a geometry term.

Hens from mass production farms never see a male chicken. There is no way the egg can be fertilized - no fetus is in there. The yolk and white are the food that would have fed a baby chick had the egg been fertilized.

Since there is nothing that WAS alive in there, it's veggie.
