I find this video from Alice in Wonderland very hilarious, "The very idea!!! I spend all my time laying eggs for serpents like her!!!" š
But could that truly be the way real chickens feel about having their eggs stolen? šš£š¤
I gave up eating eggs almost the last when I transitioned to vegan, because I justified that they do lay eggs often, sometimes 1 a day š³
But in reality, the eggs we all buy from grocery chains like loblaws come from hens in battery cages, where they are kept in hazardous conditions, until they "stop producing" and are then sent to slaughter.
And it gets even worse⣠they are often born at hatcheries, and if the purpose is hens for laying, male chicks are blended to death in a giant blender, they have no value š¤
Some chickens are treated a lot better than others, that is true š but truthfully the majority are not treated rightly enough, so to prevent all harm to chickens the safest choice and healthiest choiceā£ā£ā£ is to stop eating chicken eggs from mother hens š
Eat scrambled tofu with turmeric and black salt insteadšŖš»
Does maceration sound humane to you?

You CAN build muscle as a vegan and eggs are not necessary.

The comparison of humans to serpents for eating bird's eggs is metaphorical and can be interpreted in various ways.
Ecological Perspective: In nature, many predators, including serpents, eat bird eggs as part of their diet. When humans consume bird eggs, it can be seen as participating in a similar natural behavior, aligning with the food chain where one species feeds on another's reproductive resources.
Cultural and Ethical Viewpoints: Some cultures may view eating eggs as more ethically complex. If we look at it from the standpoint of disrupting potential life (since an egg could develop into a chick), there might be a parallel drawn to the way serpents are often seen as cunning or destructive in many mythologies and cultures. This could imbue the act with a sense of moral ambiguity.
Symbolic Interpretation: Serpents have a range of symbolic meanings across cultures, often associated with temptation, sin (as in the Biblical serpent), and transformation. The comparison might imply that humans, by consuming eggs, are engaging in a primal act that connects them to more ancient and instinctual behaviors, akin to the serpent's role in various myths.
In conclusion, while the act of eating bird eggs can draw a superficial comparison to serpents, the deeper implications depend on ecological, cultural, and symbolic contexts. The metaphor might serve to highlight the primal nature of human consumption or pose ethical questions about the impact on potential life.
