How do you feel about eating eggs sourced from one's own garden/chicken coop? The eggs aren't mass produced that way and they are from healthy chickens that don't experience cruelty.
Hi there! It is well known that off course chickens from farms where they roam free are treated better than chickens on factory farms, but it is not secret they are still being used for profit and they always end up death when they are not longer profitable.
Chickens were only ever domesticated for one reason: to exploit them. All chickens used for meat and eggs are the result of centuries of violent domination and decades of invasive genetic manipulation that dooms even those lucky enough to be rescued to a lifetime of unnatural frailty and disease. This means that all eggs, even those from rescued hens, are the product of injustice. Since humans have no biological need to consume eggs, we can withdraw our support from this exploitative industry by choosing plant-based egg alternatives for baking and cooking. Those who rescue hens can feed their eggs back to these birds, who will typically eat them with great enthusiasm, and grind the shells into their feed to restore much needed calcium. {x}
At the beginning it doesn’t seem at bad thing, but as soon you start going deeper with veganism, and I mean the philosophy itself not what you eat, we start seeing ALL animals differently. I understand eggs are something that makes our lives easier, but at what cost? Take a look at this answer where I explain where to get the nutrients eggs give us from other sources. For info about health, the documentary Food Matters is extremely informative, totally recommended :)
