I have heard people say they don't eat eggs, but I don't think they realize how hens work. Do they know that the eggs could never actually be chickens? Do you guys here know that?

Hens lay eggs every day whether they get f*&$ed by a rooster or not. The eggs you buy in a store are dud eggs, they could never be chickens.

Some vegetarians eat eggs.

But the primary reason many vegetarians/vegans are against eating eggs is because in order to provide those eggs there would have to be millions of chickens basically "enslaved" in farms to produce the eggs.

They want chickens to have liberty.

Vegetarians eat eggs, milk, and cheese. They just don't eat meat since that involves killing the animal. Vegans don't eat any animal products at all.

Their opposition to eggs is all about how chickens are treated in factory farms. Which admittedly can be a bit disturbing. Those places seem to attract psychopaths like flies to manure. Unfortunately, that's the price to pay for a society that's free from want. A lot of food would become unaffordable otherwise.

Free range is always an option, but they cost more.

Fact = life lives on life.

True vegetarianism has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO with avoidance of eating things like animal products.

99.9999 % of "pop" vegetarianism, and 100% of what you see in magazine articles and 100% of what you see "celebrities" yammering about, have ABSOLUTELY no relationship whatsoever with REAL vegetarianism.

At root it comes out of India. The root idea is, to achieve deeper meditation (absorption into deepest personal awareness of GOD) it helps to avoid "lower" metaphysical vibrations of ESPECIALLY pork, and lamb, and beef in all forms. Idea being that for a person to ACHIEVE deepest possible rapport (communion) with the DIVINE in superhuman intimate relaxed awareness, the grossest external vibrations of crap like pork, beef, etc. worked against you. Blocked your awareness, kept you engaged in the physical world while you attempted to relax into deeper realms meta-this physical world.
Apparently, of all the worst possible things to take into your body, the supreme worst is pig stuff *YUMMMMMMY bacon) ham, etc.

Annyway, apparently
vegetarianism fails unless you also intake some stuff like eggs, maybe chicken, turkey.


It's all physical, and this physicallity is merely a temporary vehicle for our souls, in which we have the OPPORTUNITY (hardly any realize it) to seek attunment with 100% ever-present LOVING (YOU ARE LOVED!) GOD. That attune-ment is waiting for you in deepest meditation on whatever form of God that you personally are able to hold most dear.

Err, it's about transcending reincarnation.

Apparently there's an authority on vegetarianism. Who knew?

We have a guy here at work who is a vegetarian. We occasionally have in office luncheons around holiday time where people bring stuff in. He'll always question people about what is in the products, to make sure he's not eating some animal product by accident. Something had eggs in it the one time and he said oh, he can't eat that then. Questioned him on why he won't eat eggs. He said that's like eating baby chickens. I asked him if he knew that those eggs would never actually turn into chickens. He had no clue, he really believed every egg was a baby chicken that was not allowed to hatch.

I have a vegetarian GF she still does dairy and eggs. She does her best to avoid leather shoes, bags, ECT. Its more for her health and compassion for animals.
She had told me some hardcore vegans won't touch "stolen animal products" like wool, honey, goose down.

Wow - that's a real word-salad, tossed around to make a mess of decent sentences. But you also have some bad ingredients there - supreme worst? attune-ment?

The point nobody mentioned is the food chain inefficiency of eating animals and animal products. Eating plants just cuts out the wasteful "middlemen" in the food chain. I know of many vegetarians who think that way. It's the only argument that has a scientific basis.

There are also some people that simply can not digest some of the animal proteins, the result is that food high in those proteins makes them sick. You can think of it like being allergic to meat.
