Vegans cannot eat eggs. However, ovo-vegetarianism makes the consumption of eggs okay. Regardless, by eliminating eggs from the diet, vegans can enjoy rare health benefits. This article explains further.

The answer is simple: Vegans do not eat eggs because chickens do not lay eggs for human consumption. The vegan principle is against animal cruelty. On this basis, it is wrong for any vegan to consume eggs.

 

Veganism is not a diet, but a way of living that seeks to achieve a vegan higher consciousness by avoiding animal exploitation. While eggs are a high vibration food and a good diet option, they should not appear in a vegan's diet.

Health Benefits of Eliminating Eggs

 

Eggs have a high level of cholesterol, are associated with chronic diseases, and also contribute to the suffering of chickens raised in exploitative factory farms. You stand to gain a lot more by eliminating eggs from your diet, and here's why:

 

  1. Cholesterol Reduction: According to some studies, consuming eggs may be as rotten as smoking. High levels of cholesterol could lead to adverse cardiovascular effects.
  2. Cancer Prevention: High cholesterol consumption increases the risk of liver cancer.
  3. Avoidance of Bacteria: Eggs contain Salmonella, a type of bacteria that causes food poisoning-related deaths.

How to Ethically Eat Eggs on a Vegan Diet

 

Fortunately, there are numerous ways you can easily replace eggs in your diet. Hundreds of delicious vegan recipes can be found on the internet, which you can quickly whip up in the kitchen. 

 

Where to begin: whip up some tofu scramble, roast russet potatoes and dip them in vegan cream, or make a vegan quiche with sundried tomatoes, mushroom, and spinach. A French toast recipe can change slightly to taste like it contains eggs by replacing egg batter with chickpea flour.

Can Vegans Eat Free-Range or Home-Grown Eggs?

 

No, vegans do not eat eggs, or at least are not expected to. Even those on 'plant-based' diets (often confused with vegan diets) do not eat eggs. As a vegan, you are basically swearing an oath to not consume any animal products, including eggs, fish, meat, and dairy.

The Ovo-Vegetarianism Argument

 

An ovo-vegetarian diet does not condone animal-based foods but makes an exception for eggs. While meat, fish, and dairies like milk and cheese are excluded from the diet, eggs and egg-composed foods such as mayonnaise are permitted. The consumption of eggs may seem inconsiderate of animals, but this type of veganism has a sharp point.

 

Eggs are not only affordable; they are very nutritious. Diets that make space for eggs are very high in protein, B-vitamins, and anti-inflammatory ingredients. Ovo-vegetarians enjoy health benefits such as improved diet, a healthier heart, and balanced blood sugar.

 

What about animal welfare and cruelty-free choices? Please understand, if a particular food meets your health requirements, you should consume it without feeling pangs of guilt. Eggs are indeed super nutritious and can help keep you nourished on a strict vegan diet.

Eggs' Effect on the Environment


Chickens are more critical to the planet than is let on. Without the presence of our precious, crowned poultry, our world could take a significant hit. Large scale egg production is associated with climate change, ozone depletion, etc.; however, studies show that the Earth's water and land experience toxicity if chickens are not around.


You stand to gain a lot more by raising a chicken as a pet. Seriously.

 

Choosing to eliminate eggs is most beneficial when it comes to:

  • Higher levels of energy;

  • Improved digestion relieving constipation;

There are really no excuses not to try healthier habits in your everyday life.
