You would be considerd a Lacto-ovo vegetarian. I myself am a lacto-vegetarian and i dont think eating eggs is harming the animals because the eggs we eat DO NOT form into baby chicks they are the wrong sperm cells. But although eggs make me sick when i eat them flat out so i am considering becoming a Lacto vegetarian!!!
Yes.
Well the would be chicken won't live no matter what part of the egg you eat.
I thought being a vegetarian was at least partly about not having to be part of the killing of animals.
Yes, it is the same thing. You're ovo lacto vegetarian..and eating eggs is not directly killing animals as many people think. When the chicken lays an egg if it wasn't fertilized it will never hatch and become a baby chick.....
Health wise there is a big difference. The yoke of the egg is the embryo that contains cholestorol. The white part is the membrane of the egg. A vegan would not eat either part as it comes from an animal. Most lacto-ovo veggies aren't bothered by egg-whites however.
It makes you lacto-ovo.
On a nutrition side it is diferent as you aren't eating yolks, but on the vegetarian side you are still eating an egg.
it is considered as a nonveg .
Yes, if you eat only egg whites, but not the yolks, and you also eat dairy products, you are an ovo-lacto vegetarian.
It would be the same if you eat say only the chicken drumstick and asking if that's the same as eating chicken... of course the answer is yes. As the old saying goes, you cannot make omelets (or in your case egg white omelets) without breaking some eggs...
@Mattias Carlsson - No chicken will "not grow up" if you or anybody eats an egg because commercially available eggs are not fertilized and don't contain chicken embryos
Yes, even though it is better source of protein than other sources, the egg white is a direct part of the yoke.
Enjoy.
yes, it's the same ethically, just health-wise it's a bit better (less cholesterol)
Its exactly the same as eating the whole egg because the eggs we eat and buy from the supermarket are Unfertilized. Chickens lay the eggs whether they are fertilized or not so you are not eating something that could grow up and become a chicken any way.
so in just my opinion your a ovo-lacto veggie if you just eat the white.
well i'm a vegetarian so i would go out and buy the campbells vegetarian soup but then i looked at the ingrediants and it contained egg whites in it. so i guess it just depends on you, wether you want to or not i guess.
yes they still need to produce the eggs to get the egg whites...
and it sounds like you might already know the process of how they get eggs....
i think its great your taking steps to going vegan... go at your own pace. you don't need to go cold turkey all at once.
ethically, its the same thing.
You're still lacto-ovo veg if you're eating eggs at all. There's no category in between lacto- and lacto-ovo to denote that you're just eating part of the egg. The only reason to get more specific than lacto-ovo would be if someone was cooking for you and needed to know that you're avoiding yolks.
