Eggs in a vegetarian diet - your opinion?!
I know most vegetarians and vegans don't eat eggs because of the abuse to chickens in factory farms, but I have my own chickens (that are like pets to us) that lay eggs!. Is it okay to eat these eggs!? What is your opinion!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
It's your choice basically, but a lot of the objection sems from the poor treatment of the animals!. If you treat your chickens nicely, and the eggs aren't fertilized, I really wouldn't see a problem!.
You should really be the one to decide though!. Do what you think is right!. After all, the only person you'll always have to live with is yourself ;-)Www@FoodAQ@Com

On an ethical level I don't really see anything wrong with that as long as the chickens are treated well!.
But on a personal level I just feel uncomfortable eating eggs and as such wouldn't!.
I suspect I will have chickens one day though and I'll use their eggs then for my dogs diet, but I couldn't eat them personally!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you can be a vegetarian and not eat eggs its called lacto-vegetarianism
which means they consume everything besides meat or eggs
they are many types of vegetarianism like
ovo-vegetarianism (eats no dairy, or meat!. eats eggs)
lacto-ovo vegetarianism (most common, no meat, but dairy and eggs)Www@FoodAQ@Com

There is nothing wrong with eating cage free eggs!. They even sell them in stores!. And without a rooster, there is no way the egg could be a baby chicken!. So as long as you only have hens, you should be fine and there is nothing wrong with it!. I am a vegetarian and I still eat eggs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
There is no problem with eggs, IMHO, as long as the chickens are treated well!.
And cholesterol in eggs is the good kind, isn't it!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

eggs are great!
since they are your chickens (and i hope that you dont torture them)
then they are fine to eat without harming the essence of the abuse!.
if that at all made sence!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegans to not eat eggs, but many vegetarians do!.
Personally I eat eggs, but only if they are raised cage free!. An egg that is not fertilized is not an animal, so it's okay to eat!. I couldn't live without egg sandwiches or eggs for baking!. Eggs are a great source of protein vitamin A and iron!.
Technically you would be called a ovo-vegetarian (or lacto-ovo if you eat dairy) but generally we just say vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

besides!.!.!. they're packed with 200mg of cholesterol!.
sure i use them for cooking for the meatatarians in my household!.!.!. but i can't eat them!.!. not just because i'm a vegetarian and a very strict one!.
but also, if i ate one!.!. there'd go my lipid levels and my doctors would be all over my rump so fast i'd see stars!
i already have a cholesterol problem :D!.!.!. yeh, imagine that a vegetarian with a lipid issue!. i get more than enough proteins from fresh fruits and veggies!.!.!. how about that! (yeh, i take lipitor!.!.!. )
anywho!.!.!.!. nope, nadda!.!. not for me!.!.!. IN SO MANY WAYS!
eggs are bad in general for most of us when it comes to the lipid counts!.
(that goes in general for dairy in retrospect)Www@FoodAQ@Com
