Another question I read this morning got me to thinking about eggs.
I keep going back and forth on eggs. I used to want to raise my own hens but I keep finding reasons to not do that (cholesterol being the main one, plus I hear hens freak out when you take their eggs, even the unfertilized ones). It would be nice to raise chickens, though. I hear they're very smart and they could eat my kitchen scraps and help keep bugs down in my garden and the birds I kept wouldn't be raised for food so I could be doing a good thing...I just don't know. And then, see, a big reason for eliminating animal products from my diet is because I find them unnatural for humans to consume (it's silly to think that in nature humans would seek out other animals to suckle from, for example) but eggs do seem like something that humans might gather and eat in the wild. I need to mull it over more. I am so confused!
I'd appreciate some arguements and information for both hen trauma, human health, etc.
Thanks!
