Can you eat eggs if your vegan?

This wouldn't accord with the standard definition of "vegan." Ownership of the egg or chicken does not effect the classifications for types of vegetarians. But the primary reason vegans don't eat eggs is the horror of egg farming, the suffering of the hens. It is not the concern for the potential sentience of the eggs. So ultimately, if you take good care of your chickens, if you allow them a free a comfortable life and let them live out their natural lives, eating their eggs is not a grievous offense. The eggs, after all, are not yet sentient and do not feel pain when you break them and cook them. Whether the hens would miss their eggs--their offspring--is another question, but presumably they wouldn't.

However, for vegans who have chosen this lifestyle out of mainly philosophical reasons, eating eggs regardless of the hen's living conditions can be considered unacceptable. The reasoning behind this can range from arguments such as "humans weren't meant to live off the bodies of other animals" to "I am opposed to exploiting animals; in using them or anything they create as a means to my end." Perhaps if the chicken could communicate and grant permission to use its eggs or thighs or wings, and the subject still desired to consume a talking chicken, it would be permissible. ---------

A: They aren't vegans, they are called 'Veggans'. 'Vegans' who eat honey are called 'Beegans'

---------

There is no standard definition of vegan and if you believe that it is right to eat those eggs then go ahead. If they are unfertilized then you are not eating any part of a chicken- it is like eating a chicken period. As long as the chickens are not being used soley for their egg-processing and as long as the chickens are not being killed after they stop producing it doesn't really matter. I am a vegan and ate my own chickens' eggs for a while because in contrast to other things they are not unhealthy and they are not hurting anything and they are not meant for any other purpose.

Why are vegetarians at risk of developing a vitamin B12 deficiency?

if you don't have enough protein you will become tired easily when you are physically working because normally your body would get protein from fat cells but because you do not eat meat you have less protein, so your body starts getting the protein from your muscles. It is basically eating away the muscle tissue. You might want to think about taking protein supplements, or eat other food products with protein in them such as nuts and eggs, and drink lots of milk. Also try tofu products. I suggest the Bocca Burger.

What vegan foods contain L-carnitine?

Unfortunately, L-carnitine come mostly in animal products. It is commonly found in beef, pork, milk, chicken, fish, eggs, and cheese. Still, L-carnitine can be found in some vegen foods. Those are avocado, asparagus, bread, cooked rice, and orange juice. While it is not as abundant (beef is 95 mg per serving, while per serving avocados are 2 mg and rice is 0.0449 mg), L-carnitine can still be found in vegen foods. Even so, it is still good to take a vitamin that contains some L-catnitine in it just to help.
