They might think, "Oh, come on, vegans won't eat eggs because they represent potential life? I should have known it would be some goofy hippie thing."

It is no more life than a pool of semen drying on your gym sock.<br /><br />I would think you would be more concerned with the prison-camp-like conditions where *eggs are made* and the living breathing chickens that are exploited to produce them than this.<br /><br />This post is two steps away from Operation Rescue.
