I don’t think vegans are against eggs simply because they are an animal “product”, they’re against eggs because of the factory farming methods used to obtain them.
There are definitely people who say they are vegans and still eat eggs. There are people who say they are for animal welfare and still eat meat, assuming it meets some personally established ethical standard. There are people who don’t eat eggs or meat entirely for religious reasons, but couldn’t care less about the conditions of factory farms.
There’s a certain terminally online kind of person who will assert “Vegans are too stupid to understand what I’m doing is okay, actually” but have only ever met other confused teenagers trying to rationalize their own life choices. And then there’s folks who simply can’t afford to eat eggs regularly, because their food bills doubled in price since the pandemic, and don’t keep them in stock.
The important thing is to find people to be mad at. Vegans-who-are-doing-it-wrong. Catholics-who-are-doing-it-wrong. CEOs of grocery chains who are gradually pricing the retail market out of staple foods. Terminally-Online-Lemmyites-who-are-doing-it-wrong. Asshole Reply Guys. Just find someone to hate and keep your hate pure.
