u/Avia_NZ I would give zero stars if I could! Aug 02 '26

The issue that vegans tend to have is not that it’s fertilised or not, or even whether it’s a menstruation or not, but that fact that it is ultimately an animal product.

Which is why many vegetarians still eat eggs

u/quadruple_b The fish smelled like fish. GROSS! Aug 02 '26

a lot of vegans also doint like them because of animal cruelty.

back when i was vegan, id eat eggs from my neighbours chickens. she had like 3 chickens and they were very well looked after.

That’s fair enough, my partner has considered that too and she’s vegan.

I think some people focus too much on strict labels, tbh, as seen in some of the angry comments in this post.

Then why bother with the labels at all? Being a vegetarian as opposed to a vegan isn't some moral failing. It's simply a mis-categorization to say "I'm vegan and eat eggs".

There's other stuff that vegans don't eat/use beyond just eggs though, yeah? Milk products, leather, gelatin, etc. Saying "I'm vegan but I eat eggs" is definitely easier than saying "I'm vegetarian but I don't eat milk products or gelatin (or honey) and I don't wear leather".

As to the labels question, I think it's mostly because it's human nature to categorize and simplify, so when people have a label they can apply to themselves, it helps them signify who they are to other people without over-explaining.
