ARE EGGS VEGETARIAN??? 🤔

The speaker begins by questioning the definition of vegetarianism, noting its cultural variations (e.g., eggs being vegetarian in the UK but not in India) compared to the clear animal-origin restriction of veganism.

The discussion draws a parallel between milk and eggs, highlighting that milk is considered vegetarian because its extraction doesn't result in death. Historically, eggs were viewed as non-vegetarian due to the possibility of a fertilized egg hatching into a chick, implying harm or killing.

The speaker clarifies that supermarket eggs come from farms without male roosters, meaning these eggs are unfertilized and cannot hatch. They are simply a product, similar to milk, and do not involve the killing of any animal.

By the same logic that milk is vegetarian, unfertilized supermarket eggs should also be considered vegetarian because their consumption does not involve killing. However, free-range or organic eggs might still pose the uncertainty of being fertilized.

While acknowledging cultural traditions and personal preferences that might lead individuals to avoid eggs, the speaker concludes that for those looking to maintain a vegetarian diet without causing harm, eating supermarket eggs involves 'killing absolutely nothing'.
