Some of you may be thinking, that you saw a blood spot while eating an egg. You might assume that that egg was fertilized. But there is no need to worry about that either. Because that’s not true. When a hen lays eggs, some small blood vessels near the ovaries sometimes burst and rupture. So the drops of blood are from there.
Those of you who regularly eat eggs must have noticed these blood spots. But now you don’t have to worry that a chick might hatch from the egg. So back to our question, you must have understood that eggs can be vegetarian or non-vegetarian. But most of the eggs that we eat are unfertilized, so they are vegetarian. Because these eggs neither have any meat nor can a life emerge from them. These eggs can be compared to milk.
Mahatma Gandhi said the same thing. Those who drink milk should not have any problem with these sterile, unfertilized eggs. And the same point was reiterated by the Supreme Court in 2004. The court was hearing a matter about whether eggs should be allowed to be sold in religious places like Rishikesh or not. Supreme Court held that eggs are vegetarian.
