Eggs. Ok to eat eggs or not ok.

I saw an egg thread last week but can't find it so I started this one.

Egg laying is a natural process for hens and doesn't harm them in any way. With no animal getting harmed, why do some still avoid eggs?

I thought of abortion, my first thought. Eating (to taking) a life not yet born into a being is avoided.

As in the common argument. I think it's because Any living animal shouldn't die for our gain.

It doesn't take into account we are animals too, but it makes me wonder why we eat some animals and not others.

The eggs aren’t fertilized. They’re not “a life not yet born.”

From a spiritual or tantric viewpoint eggs are crudifying like meat, fish, mushrooms, drugs, alcohol and onions etc.. For easier meditation keeping a sentient mind is important. You keep the inner temple as clean as possible by controlling the senses, your thoughts and also your diet and other eating habits.

The comparison was between two "unborn" things that would grow into beings if not eatened or killed.

Thats the reasoning I think it may be with the OP question. The reasoning is my point not the nature of what's eatened.

It's not abortion as eggs in the supermarket are unfertillized.

An unfertilized egg will not produce chick's. We don't eat fertilized eggs in general although some cultures do like balut.

So that would be like eating sperm or egg before conception?

I know. Weird comparison but hope you get my point.

Cage free eggs are from non-caged hens.

"Cage-free" is a term that gets thrown around but does not actually guarantee that chickens are being properly kept. "Cage-free" chickens are often kept in large barns or warehouses where they are not technically caged, but are over-packed into the space, have little room to move, and have little to no opportunity to go outside.

Beats me. No omelettes, no souffles, no mayonnaise, no Hollandaise sauce, no cakes, no meringues.....

How miserable.
