[–] NotAPenguin@kbin.social 19 points 2 years ago* (2 children) Trying is good but very real animals are still suffering for eggs and cheese. Is it really wrong to think that the right amount of animal cruelty is none? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] wellee@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago Reducing without a strict diet is much easier for people. Small wins. If you can make a "I only eat meat, what are veggies?" person reduce their meat intake at all, that's a super big win. Changing your entire meal prep is a huge undertaking and most people just won't do it because it's too overwhelming. Reducing meat to a side, and being more mindful? Way easier. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (3 children) Chickens just lay eggs. It's just a thing they do. The factory chicken farms are fucked and shouldn't exist but ethical eggs are a thing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] NotAPenguin@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) They've been bred to lay an extreme amount of unnaturally big eggs. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Either way they are still going to lay those eggs if they exist. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] wellee@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago ?

Like those videos of the baby chicks being ground up. permalink fedilink source parent [–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) A large portion of health issues and causes of death chickens face are egg related. Sometimes the eggs get stuck, sometimes they break before being laid and cause an infection, vent prolapse, cancer, etc. That's not to say I don't think we should eat eggs, with a lot of cooking there is just no good substitute, but even the most pampered hen doesn't have it easy. permalink fedilink source parent
