The Garden of Vegan

In India and in Jainism eggs are considered non-vegetarian. Simply because of the fact that the eggs derived here are coming from chickens that roam freely and not de-fertilized eggs.

As in, the eggs that you’re consuming at this point have the real possibility of becoming a chicken.

So if a vegetarian eats an egg by mistake in India they know they’ve committed a huge sin because now they’ve stopped a baby chicken from coming alive.

On another level, by Cruelty Free we are not saying that you can kill animals once they’ve lived their lives in peace and freedom. That’s, in fact, even more cruel. It’s like fattening up the animals for your selfish purpose of “better tasting meat.”

Sorry if I’ve offended, just needed to clarify that CRUELTY FREE was geared towards milk and milk products such as cheese which do not carry within them a new life as “cruelty free” eggs do.

Om.

No, you’ve not offended at all. I just know that our eggs aren’t fertilized (I wouldn’t eat them if they were) and they came from our chickens, who are not abused by any stretch of the imagination. I never eat store-bought eggs or products that have eggs in them.
