Vegetarians!!?? Whats Your Take On Eggs??!
ive just always wondered do you eat eggs are they considered meat!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Over here! I'm a Vegetarian!
I eat eggs but,
I don't really consider eggs
a meat product!.
Because when the
egg comes out of the
chicken or alien it's usually mashed
up first!. And then it gets it's shape!.
And animals like cows!. Their calves
come out the same way as humans
do!. They don't come in an egg because
it would be too friggin' huge!
So that is what I think!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i am a vegetarian because i love animals and dont want to eat them
i have 2 chickens that live happy lives in a huge pen that get fed everyday, not genetically manipulated!. they can scratch in the hay i put out for them and act like chickens!. i eat thier eggs only, because they are humanely treated!.
i however do not think it is right to support the egg companies that burn off the chicks beaks and cram 6-7 chickens that live on a diet of pills into a tiny cage so that they cannot even flap one wing in thier entire sad and hopeless lives!. i do not eat thier eggsWww@FoodAQ@Com

If you eat eggs, I recommend that you find someone to buy drom directly!.
"Free-range" and "cage-free" are terms that are almost always deceitful and just used to make money!.
Chickens are the most abused animals on the planet, the lives that they live to create eggs for people are the most joyless and unbearable lives ever lived!.

I am a vegetarian, but I can only eat eggs if they are in things, but I cant bring myself to eat just eggs, I get so grossed out!. The same thing goes for milk, I can eat ice cream and if it is in things but I cant have it on my cerial or just drink it!. I need soymilk for that!. I can have an egg sandwich everyonce in a blue moon!. I dont consider them meat, because it is just cells, it is not yet a chicken yet!. But I do understand where you are coming from!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Vegetarian here!!
I eat free range eggs, and have to know where the eggs I am about to eat are coming from, So I won't eat egg noodles because they wouldn't be free range eggs!. I usally use eggless in everything that I cook with!.!. Chickens that are not free range are treated in horrific conditions and I am not supporting that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't eat eggs, but I do like some dairy products!.
My family used to get eggs when I was a kid and some of them were fertilized!. It kind of freaked me out; so I've never been that fond of eggs!.
Some vegetarians disagree with me and eat eggs!. Since the original definition of "vegetarian" diet included eggs (1847), I see no reason to make a big deal out of it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

chickens are forced to reproduce eggs far beyond the amount nature intended them!. obviously, chemicals are involved!. because of this, chickens use as much as 30 times more calcium than they began with!. they suffer severe osteoporosis!.
i don't do eggs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

well i'm vegan, and i wouldnt say i would nevesarily consider eggs "meat", but i still think its wrong to be eating it!. even if it is just a cell, it holds the capability of becoming more!. plus they dont belong to anyone other than the chicken, so i dont think its fair to be taking them to eatWww@FoodAQ@Com
Vegetarian here - and also a person that has many birds!.
Eggs are not meat!. They are not even little baby birds unless fertilized!. I have to clean out bird eggs all the time off the floor because they will drop them all over when they are not fertilized!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I eat eggs, but get them from local farms so I can see how well the birds are treated!. Eggs sold for food are not fertilized, so they would never produce a chicken!.
Like Maggie above said, It is very easy to keep a few hens yourself!. I had 4 of them years age!. The last hen died this month of old age!. :-(Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think eggs are "okay" as long as you are careful only to buy local organic and on a farm where you know the chickens are free range and fed a vegetarian diet!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I consider them an animal product, but not meat!. They were never alive, and they are a good source of protein!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Eggs are something chickens naturally produce regularly!. They're not meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Behind the vast majority of every "incredible edible" egg sold in grocery stores today is a hen so intensively confined inside a wire battery cage, she can barely even move!.
With just 67 square inches of space in which to live, she can't even flap her wings, let alone build a nest, perch, dust bathe, or perform many other natural behaviors!.
Numerous experts agree that battery cage confinement contributes to a number of welfare problems—and such concerns have prompted many European countries to ban this system of confinement altogether!. And barren battery cages will be phased out of the entire European Union by 2012!.
Battery cages continue, however, to dominate egg production in the U!.S!., and the egg industry has long attempted to ignore the allegations of cruelty to animals!. But as a growing number of consumers discover the hard-boiled truth about modern egg production, the industry is scrambling to keep its reputation from cracking!.
Why "Cage-Free "or "Free-Range" Eggs Are NO BETTER!.!.!.
No matter where the egg production facility is, or what the 'visible to the public 'conditions are, the egg-laying hens are obtained from the same hatcheries that kill the baby rooster chicks at only one day old!. If the "free-range" farm hatches its own chicks, two important questions still remain!.
1!. What happens to ALL of the male chicks – not just few token roosters – ALL of them!?
2!. What happens to the hens when they are no longer laying enough eggs for this facility to be profitable!?
If the spent hens and ALL of the roosters were allowed to live out their lives until they died a natural death – chickens can live well over a decade – then that farm would soon have thousands of "spent" hens and roosters to care for!. Obviously, the lifelong care of all of those birds, at all stages of a natural life span, would cut severely into any profits made by selling the eggs of younger hens!.
So what happens to ALL of the boys!? And what happens to ALL of the spent hens!?
Hens are generally considered spent by egg-laying facilities at one to two years – meaning, the farm then has to provide predator-proof shelter, food, veterinary care, etc!. for that same hen, for another decade!. The roosters will require dozens of separate yards, predator-proof shelters, food, vet care, etc!. for their entire lives!.
In order to make a profit, the numbers simply don't add up unless the inevitable killing of roosters and spent hens is occurring!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Eggs not meat!? Geez!. I consider it to be meat!. People are stupid if they say it's not an animal because if they get incubated, they will hatch!. However, eggs are in pretty much everything, so most people overlook it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
