I would care enough not to want to be friends or associates with people that think animal cruelty is OK.

A free range (especially organic) egg is nothing at all like a caged hen egg. Do you not remember what eggs (yolk esp) were like when you were younger (when they were mostly all fresh, free range eggs)?

Did not say I think animal cruelty is OK, never, BUT eggs is eggs. There are far worse cruel things happening to other animals and the way they are slautered to single out the chooks. If you made the decision never to eat animals or products of animals or birds or fish etc etc you would be anarexic so eat up and remember human beings are the cruelist species on earth but we are also the most dominant and intellegent ( supposedly) so it is the survival of the fittest.

Forgot to add - I can remember when we could buy WHITE egg shells and now you can only buy BROWN egg shells.

I like brown egg shells. Does it depend on the breed of hen what colour shell the egg has?

I have 2 eggs in the fridge - 1 is brown and the other is off white.

Do you mean anorexic or anaemic?  Doesn't matter either way as the above statement is completely inaccurate. There are plenty of vegans who are just  as healthy as the next person and they eat none of the stuff mentioned above.

Caged birds kept for egg production is cruelty to animals. What do you think happens to these hens when they are no longer useful as egg layers after a fairly short time?

Battery cages are banned in all 27 countries of the EU, in Switzerland and in at least 7 States in the US.

• Over 90% of the eggs sold in Australia are caged.
• In Australia, caged eggs come from the 10.5 million caged hens in battery farms.
• A single battery farm can contain thousands of battery hens, stacked in cages five rows high in enclosed sheds.
• Battery hens suffer intensely and continuously throughout their lives.

• A battery hen spends her entire life laying cramped inside a shared cage.
• She will never see the sky.
• Each cage holds 3 to 7 hens.
• Each hen's floor area is only 450 cm squared, about 3/4 of the size of an A4 sheet of paper.
• With her wings outstretched, a hen is twice the size of a typical battery cage.

Then there is debeaking, male chicks are killed at 1 day old etc.

Sorry, meant anorexic (stupid PC )They probably get knocked on the head same as sheep when they don't produce good wool anymore or cattle when they are past producing calves, milkers when they have dried up or race horses if they are past breeding or geldings if they don't perform and win races, should I go on ?

As for vegans - that's a choice and a different subject all together.

No, vegan (and vegetarians) iwas  in reply to you saying if people don't eat meat, fish or other animal products they will be anorexic... complete nonsense.
