Well you all know I am a newbie vegan, went shopping again today to stock up on veggies and a few bits and I really really have a disgust for eggs the same as I do meat now - I am mad women reading every labels - its like when I first went vegetarian. My husband picked up something and put it in the trolley, I picked it up and ead the ingredients and said put half of it back cause it has eggs and I don't want it and he said "wow you really are serious about this aren't you" to which I replied "yes" and he smiled

I had a similar reaction when I first went vegan although for me it was with dairy products. This was a bit of a problem at the time as I was previously realy into cheese. However, when I read about what happened to produce dairy products I actually felt sick about the idea of eating cheese.

My young son put me off eggs even before we both went vegan. He was 9 at the time and was brought up veggie from birth. He said about eggs being an unborn chicken and he stopped eating them. Shortly after we both went vegan. He's 12 now and still keeps amazing me with the stuff he says. He's more intelligent than a lot of adults!

Check the "legally liberate 13,500 chickens in April" thread to see the conditions some FREE RANGE chickens live in its disgusting.

Wow that's very good, if only more children and adults were more like your young son, imagine the world we could live in .

Reminds me of a lame conversation which my brother told me about, which he had with his fiancee. They're both vegetarian, although due to my tender influence he is considerably more vegan-flavoured than she is nowadays. Fiancee - I don't eat duck's eggs because i couldn;t bear to eat those tiny little fluffy cute baby ducks Brother - But you eat hen eggs.... Fiancee - Well yeah, but i like the taste of hens' eggs A common misconception among many people, especially ovo-vegetarians and lacto-ovo vegetarians, seems to be that if eggs are commercial they will not have been fertilised, which means that they are definitely not likely to be a future bird, thus making them totally A-Okay in a vegetarian diet... well, they are indeed considered to be part of a modern vegetarian diet, however it is definitely not the case that they are definitely 100% guaranteed to be an infertile menstrual waste product rather than a foetus, as the following news story shows , and as I've heard of on a few occasions myself ! The thing about free-range eggs...
