is egg a meat?

Question

can a vegetarian eat an egg

Answer 1

Yes a vegetarian can eat eggs. The eggs we eat aren't fertilized yet. Therefore you're not killing anything.

Answer 2

An egg, along with legumes and other things high in protein are considered a meat (according to the food pyramid) but that is only because of the excellent protein it has. Vegetarians can eat eggs. Usually Vegetarians don't eat animal flesh but eggs are okay and dairy products.

Answer 3

Egg cannot be a meat
However Vegetarians do not eat Eggs

Answer 4

Kinda, it is not meat (Catholics can have it on Fridays). Yet it comes from an animal. There are Vegans called Ova. That means they eat eggs. I would be considered a lacta ova vegetarian. I still drink milk and I eat eggs. A Vegan does not deal with any animal by product. That means they don't wear leather shoes to.

Answer 5

No egg is not meat.
Depends on what type of vegetarian you are. If you also do not take dairy products, then eggs are a no no.
Otherwise its okay. I am a strict non-vegetarian. So difficult for me to comprehend though. My logic is "Eat it if you like."

Answer 6

Egg is a Protein. Many Vegetarians do eat eggs. This is a personal choice. I choose Vegan, I honestly do not believe the human body is meant to eat animal products at all. Yes we can live on them but we don't THRIVE on them.

Answer 7

egg is a meat and a vegetarian if he wishes can eat

Answer 8

Vegetarians come in a variety of degrees. Many are Ovo/Lacto vegetarians, ovo meaning egg and lacto meaning milk. These vegetarians eat eggs and dairy products. Vegans, on the other hand, eat neither of those, subsisting on plant material alone.

I'm an Ovo/Lacto veggie myself, and when defending myself against someone who was giving me a hard time saying, "Let me get this straight.... you'll eat 'pre-chicken' (meaning eggs) but you won't eat chicken, right?" I let them know that I choose to Spill No Blood. A significant difference in my book.

Answer 9

Egg is neither veg nor non-veg. Those persons who eat egg are called eggatarian. But I beleive that egg should be vegetarian because like milk is a product of cow (animal) likewise egg is also a product of hen (animal).
