Are vegetarians allowed to have egg whites?!


Question: Are vegetarians allowed to have egg whites!?
because i thought that vegetarians aren't allowed to eat animals and the eggs are technicallly a chicken that wasnt born yet!.!.!. but i thought that it was just the egg yolk that was supposed to be the soon-to-be chicken and the egg whites are just "food" that was supposed to sustain the yolk while inside the egg shell!.!.!. so technially you aren't eating the animal!.!.!. just its food reserve!.!.!. and chickens are vegetarians!.!.!. so theres no harm in that right!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Vegetarians are allowed to have anything that an animal did NOT have to DIE for!. So yea, egg whites, whole eggs, milk, ice cream, cheese, yogurt, all that stuff is considered vegetarian!.
Gravy, chicken broth, top ramen seasonings, etc!.!.!.are not!.
It is Vegans that do not eat ANYTHING that COMES from an animal, whether or not the animal died in the process of obtaining the product!.

Egg whites are an animal product, depending on the degree of vegetarian you are, is what you decide to eat, a strict vegan does not eat anything with any animal product in it, many vegetarians have their own levels or degrees of what they will eat and won't eat!. Even a product like pasta has animal product in it, some will eat it, some won't!. Some people will call themselves a vegetarian, and don't have a clue what one is!. I'm not a strict vegan, but I'm getting closer, and closer!. Because I feel so much better than when I eat animal products!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

There are different kinds of vegetarians--
ovo vegetarian eat eggs
lacto vegetarians drink milk

there is no " allowed" " not allowed" as far as I'm concerned,its a personal choice as to whether or not you think it's right to eat eggs!. I personally don't because I think the conditions they are gathered in are cruel!.!.!. but its your life and your diet !.!.you choose!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well since being a vegetarian or vegan is a personal choice!. I think each person can 'choose' what they want to eat!.

Unless it's a diet under doctors orders, if you feel comfortable eating eggs but not anything else coming from an animal, then that's a personal choice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, vegetarians can only eat vegetables and animal byproducts, milk, butter etc!. eggs are considered a meat protein so unfortunately that is a no!. But if you were to be a vegan you couldn't even eat animal byproducts!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's eating an animal by product!. It's not really murder, but the egg is considered a zygote, an organism that basically is chicken menstrual period or unfertilized egg!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Personally I think you are fine as long as no rooster has been around the female chicken!. Because then the egg was not fertalized and there would have been no chance of a chicken being born of that egg!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegetarians are not "not allowed" they just prefer not to!. The vegans are the ones who are "not allowed" toWww@FoodAQ@Com

The eggs humans eat aren't fertilized so both white and yolk are vegetarian!.

Having looked at the other question you asked I can understand your confusion on this issue!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yep, but vegans can't!.

Vegetarians don't eat meat!. Vegans, on the other hand, avoid ALL animal products!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
