Question

vegetarian food is the one which can prepare there food independently ( with out depending on any other life being). eg:- Plants ( whcih prepares their food by using photosynthesis) means it won't depend on the other life being.
Where as Non vegetarian food is the one which depends on other lifes to survey.
Above thing is main differene between vegetarian food and Non vegetarian food.
Now come to Egg, The egg is also generrated from life where it just like a seed to another life. as long as it is Egg it won't depend on any other life for surveyval.
So Finally Egg should be considered as vegetarian only.

Answer 1

Eggs are not vegetarian per say but there are several type of people who call themselves vegetarians:

Oval-Lacto - Eggs and Cheese but no meat (This is my family)
Lacto - Cheese only (This is me as I don't really eat eggs.)
Vegan - These are people who do not eat any products produced from animals. (Tried this it did not work for me.)

Answer 2

Yes...eggs are a product from an animal but the egg is not a living thing and the animal it came from was not slaughtered to get the egg. Although there are a few different types of vegetarians, the main thing they all have in common is that they eat no animal flesh (this includes fish despite what some ignorant people might think). Since egg is not flesh, it can be considered vegetarian friendly. Lacto-Ovo vegetarians (the most common) use dairy and egg.

Answer 3

It is upto one to decide what he should eat. It may be based on the taste,health benefits,health hazards or other aesthetic matters.
Now come to the dependance/independance you have mentioned in your question. Our nature is made by the almighty in such a way that, each and every one is some way or other connected to all others. Plants also do depend on other living beings. The manure from which it gets the nutrients is generally decay product of other living beings. It may be a decay product of plant material or animal material. the way you are stating the independance, I feel that I am getting disconnected from the rest of the world, my mother earth being a vegetarian. Please don't use the word not dependant on others. Even I and you may also be dependant on each other even if we lives in different parts of the earth.

Some people may feel that eating a meat product or animal product is cruel. In some respect they are true also. But in the nature you can see preys and predator. By being a predator, I feel, the tiger or lion is cruel to others.

From your name, it seems that you belongs to or have your ethnic origin from India. Though India is great country with a very long history, there is very high attack of religions into the way one should live. The style of life of one is dictated by the religious leaders. They generally( religios leaders or priests) acts as retail licensees of god. My advice to you that don't let the religion to dictate the way you should live ,eat, bath,sleep, run, walk etc.

Now coming to cruelty in food, I feel, milk is the cruelest form of food the mankind takes. By milking a cow, goat or buffallo, you are denying it's baby the food that was made exclusively for the infant living being by its mother. Just think yourself in the same situation. The love of a mother, her affection, the bonding between the mother and a child, is said to be enhance by breast feeding of baby.(In the case of human). Our fellow animals also have the same right in this earth as we have. By looking at the nature also you cannot find any other species exploiting some animals for their milk other than humans. There are carnivorous animals, herbivorous animals and animals which take both. But no other animal except the cruel man drinks milk of a cow. In India you worship cow and force its kid to be in hunger. It's ridiculous.

My advice to you is that you have whatever you like without worrying about whether it is vegetarian or non-vegetarian food. Prey and predator are part of our nature. Even a vegetarian preys on leafy vegetables which is also a form of life. But don't drink milk. It is the cruelest form of food man discovered.

Answer 4

The majority of your eggs come from large farms that do not contain males therfore the egg cannot become fertilized and produce a chick. The hen lays an egg every 26 hours if a male is near or not. If you dont eat eggs because they come from an animal then some hen is laying eggs for no one.

Answer 5

Like a cow can't make a vegetable, nether can a chicken or anything else that lays or expels eggs. The main key here is the word vegetarian. There is no egg in vegetarian. Only vegetables.

Answer 6

egg is a non vegetarian food as it comes from a chicken but milk is also vegetarian but it comes out of the cow. it is up to you decide egg is a vegetarian food or not. i take it as avegetarian food

Answer 7

WHAT? i am very confused, but i will try to answer...althouhg there really isnt much to add...
vegetarians are not people who dont rely on animals forf ood, if that were true then they wouldnt eat eggs or cheese or milk or yoghurts or honey,
Vegys are people who dont eat dead bodies-any form of MEAT
pescetarians-people who eat fish but not meat
vegans-people who eat no product from an animal, including eggs.

Answer 8

An ovo-lacto vegetarian will eat eggs and dairly products. Vegans eat no animal products whatsoever.

Answer 9

I agree with Curly, eggs are an animal product. Vegans do not eat or wear animal products. But some people, while they call themselves "vegetarian" are not true vegetarians but choose not to eat meat that came from slaughted animals but will eat eggs and drink milk and wear fur and leather.

Answer 10

Eggs are animal protein. Case closed.
