If you’re an egg eater, make sure you’re eating green eggs … environmentally green, that is. Make sure the eggs you buy satisfy your environmental standards.
Eggs exist in a funny grey area somewhere between food that is easily classifiable as “meat” and food that is “not meat.” In fact, eggs are single-handedly responsible for delineations between certain types of vegetarians. Lacto-ovo vegetarians, for example, won’t eat meat but will eat dairy and eggs. Most vegans, on the other hand, won’t eat eggs.
The distinction, of course—and it’s a key point at least for those vegetarians who rely on eggs for their protein—is based on the theory that egg-producing hens can live a comfortable and healthy life without having to be killed or having to suffer through inhumane conditions to provide us with that protein.You can find the entire article here
