Maybe he thinks it's morally more right? If I was a vegetarian then I probably wouldn't eat eggs considering what they are.

I doubt milk is much better. I mean, it's not like the eggs will hatch.

The eggs can hatch, they're killed before they can.

Yeah, milk is completely different. It isn't something that could have been a life.

I'm not a full vegan. I eat very little meat at all, however, and avoid eggs almost completely. I find eating eggs to be much worse than just plain meat but eh

Other animals do it, too, I guess

And dairy.

I would never become a vegetarian or a vegan.

I LOVE chicken.

I like chicken too 
I eat meat, but my family hardly ever eats beef. We replace regular burgers that have beef with turkey, and we replace ground beef with ground turkey. Just 'cause it's healthier

Eggs that we buy from grocery stores (and the kind we eat in general) are the unfertilized embryo of a chicken (or duck, quail, etc.) that the hen laid anyways (a little bit like a girl's period - those are definitely not babies). Since it will absolutely, guaranteed never hatch into a chicken if there is no rooster involved (egg farms raise many hens but not roosters), it is not alive. Even if you raise a hen from a chick and carefully incubate several eggs for weeks, they will never hatch. Ever. Admittedly, in farms there may be a 1 out of 1,000,000 chance there was a mistake and some eggs were alive, that is so tiny you don't need to think about it.

Of course, there are good reasons not to eat eggs like the living conditions of the hens, and these are fairly valid, but that they would have hatched is not one of those.

This explains it quite  nicely.

Edit: Apparently, occaisionally the egg develops by itself, but the embryo usually dies because the development is very unorganized. Also, there is a process called candling where you hold up a very strong light to the egg to see if it is fertile.

Oh yes, eggs.

I think it's actually the gelatin, which is made of the collagen in animal bones and things like that.

I tried some. YUM
