Tag: Vegetarian debate

According to a 2021 study, the worldwide production of eggs stood at 85.8 million metric tons, fueling a long-standing debate. A vegetarian diet typically excludes animal flesh, but does this mean eggs are acceptable? Whether eggs are proved as vegetarian depends heavily on individual interpretations, cultural perspectives, and the type of egg being consumed.

According to a 2006 survey by Hindu-CNN-IBN, around 9% of Indians who identify as vegetarian also consume eggs. While this is a significant minority, the question of whether Indian vegetarians can eat eggs remains a topic of cultural and religious debate within the country. The answer varies depending on an individual's personal beliefs, region, and specific interpretation of vegetarianism.
