Certainly eggs are not vegan,
but most people don't fully understand the full scope and implications of consuming eggs and what are the concerns directly related to them
Let's clear up a few points.
1. Eggs are simply a product of an animal thus simply don't qualify as a vegan food.
2. Yes, eggs are a good source of protein however it is no reason to eat them. A vegan has many choices of high quality protein from their plant based diet.
3. 1 single egg contains 37,000,000 pathogenic microorganisms, beef, lamb, poultry and seafood average 336,000,000, while the average entire vegan meal only contains 500 pleomorphic pathogenic microorganisms.
4. Eggs are probably one of the.foods to avoid for prevention and treatment of mycosis.
5. Diseases may also appear in eggs from sick hens.
6. Modern farming techniques may include feeeding chickens antibiotics, colored dye (makes yolks brighter in color), tranquilizers, hormones, and many other substances to harden shells and increase production.
7. Factory farming of egg layers is cruel at best. It is a dark world that treats the chickens as machines. A buddhist friend of mine told me she doesn't eat eggs because they belong to the chicken and she has no right to take them from her, now that is compassion.
A plant based vegan diet does not carry the same risk of salmonella, mycosis, or increased cholesteral. It further eliminates the worries associated with pesticides, toxins, hormones, and other chemicals that may be found in eggs.
