Some brands of vegetarians eat eggs, too. I think they're called lacto-ovo vegetarians, or something like that.

We must think of the animals.

If everyone stopped eating meat, drinking milk, etc. then farmers and ranchers would have no reason, obviously, for raising cows, chickens and other animals. Currently, every year millions of these animals are bred and raised through out the world, but in the vegetarian model they would have no purpose. It's sad to think about the lost opportunity.

So, eat meat. Give those cows and chickens a chance at a short happy life.

Raise your hands, raise your voice, give the chickens another choice.

If God didn't intend for us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them out of MEAT!!!

Eggs are fine on a "standard" vegetarian diet because they are unfertilized so no animal dies/you are not eating an animal.

It's Vegans who don't eat any animal products at all regardless of whether the animal dies or not.

And fruitarians only eat produce that is "freely given". Fruit is designed to be eaten to aid propagation of the plant, wheat -for example- is not.

Yes, because I am a bovio-lovo vegetarian, myself.
