Don’t take a thread off topic and then insist it goes back on topic when you can’t actually back up your statements.
I get my eggs from one of the 20+ road side stands along my commute where I can see all the chickens running around, a neighbor or the farmers market that I walk to in my town on sundays… So since we have eliminated suffering… tell me one reason not to eat eggs for health reasons when my Dr, a published author on running/health, regularly featured on health and running podcasts, and gets his eggs from the same road side stands that I do and just reviewed my blood work a week ago says it looks fantastic and to keep up everything I’m doing…
My partner is vegetarian, I eat almost no meat, but do consume eggs and dairy… you’re barking up the wrong tree with your politics.
even on those local farms, these hens are breed to lay 20x as much eggs as they would normally do. Which does cause them suffering. And these chickens still end up in te slaughterhouse and the male chicks still get murdered on their first day of hatching, so no, suffering is still there.
Eggs are not healthy, as i already showed with the source provided earlier. And just dismissing the source as biased is not a counterargument. Saturated fat, cholesterol. just two reasons for health not to eat them. Sure, you can eat some eggs and be healthy, but that does not mean eggs are healthy. Sure, eggs contain nutrients, still does not mean as a whole, they are healthy.
Veganism is not politics, its just common sense. And dont even start about the dairy industry, which is maybe even worse in terms of suffering.
Not going to comment on the choice of being veg, vegan or such - everyone is entitled to eat what they want.
But with that logic, everything is unhealthy. Literally everything we eat have some “bad” things in it. Its all about moderation… and athletes might have a little bit more buffer zone in what we eat in terms of amount of carbs and protein etc. than people who do not exercise.
We can all agree that everyone needs to contribute to making the world a better place, but OP asked about eggs for breakfast.
Eggs for breakfast are not bad for you. End of story.
These are people with hens for themselves and put the extras out for sale as an honor system stand next to the extra kale and cabbage. These are not hens bred for commercial purposes.
Veganism as you are using it, in a thread where no one asked you or anyone else a our eggs… is 100% political.
Nobody lost their mind. I just said both the potatoes and rice are good choices and suggested that if its about health, maybe skip the eggs.
Have a nice day,
Actionable items for this look like: refraining from posts that are only intended to cause dissent. If the content of your post is just to provoke other athletes, its not constructive or excellent.
Thaaaaaaanks.
