Well for the record I’m sure these eggs in the photo weren’t fertilized. That doesn’t mean i think eggs still count as vegetarian.

How do you know which ones are fertilized and which ones aren’t?

Yeah you got me. The original thought still holds up. Eggs are meat

Now that i didn’t know. Then technically it’s a crapshoot if the eggs been fertilized or not.

If that helps with your self esteem by all means.

Well the same reason turtles lay like 30 eggs. The likelihood of the hatchlings making it to the ocean and living their life out is low. It’s called evolution. Over thousands of years turtles bodies taught themselves to produce more. Same with chickens as in the wild chickens are very popular amongst predators

Yes i was aware. It’s still an animal product that was designed for something else.

The chicken laid those eggs for reproductive purposes. Not for other people or other animals to eat. They weren’t grown in the ground or picked from a tree.

They would have been fertilized if they weren’t picked by humans.

The unborn chickens.

So….eggs are not vegetarian. They are meat. An animal died so you can eat those eggs. It doesn’t count. I don’t care what other regions think. Vegetarian = no meat. Vegan= nothing from an animal (such as milk since the cow didn’t die to get you that milk) now feel free to downvote away. It won’t matter and it won’t change the facts. Your just wrong en masse.
