The case against eggs specifically isn't about killing a potential life,
Ethically It's more about the suffering of the hens in factory farms being exploited for their eggs their whole life only to be slaughtered afterwards.
Environmentally, it's about animal products in general being a less efficient source of calories than plants, and so contributing more to climate change overall.
Human health wise, its about a few things.
If you just go vegetarian and cut out all meat you're still making a huge difference on the environmental and personal health side. I'd personally recommend going vegan long term and cutting out all animal protein (eggs and dairy too), but I don't think people have to go from omnivore to vegan in one go. Doing a sudden shift when someone isn't ready can actually make them give up on veganism because of a bad experience.
The key thing is to learn to cook for yourself, explore vegan recipes, and find yourself a good set of staple meals you enjoy with appropriate amounts of fiber, nutrients, and protein.
Any, erm, alternatives to eggs? Also, good point about the hens. Oh, and the climate change too. And eggs may (potentially) give you avian flu or h1n1, etc.? Interesting... And it increases antibiotic resistance in yourself, right?
Got it. I have a family of heart problems.
How does veganism or vegetarianism affect you health and mind-wise compared to before? I need a few anecdotes and studies here, thank you, but I'll do my own research, of course.
