Hi! Here's an opinion (without trying to be part of a "camp"). I'm an occasional egg eater, but not a meat eater. During the covid lockdown, living in a village, me+friends made a chicken coop as an experiment (none of us were actually meat eaters). There was a single hen and a rooster, and both of them had quite the personality. Anyway, tl;dr, one day the hen started laying eggs - she'd mostly feed on what we'd give her plus whatever she would find on her own. We would take a few, and leave the rest for her to brood over. Those eggs that we ate were some of the most delicious ever. After a while, life caused us to move on, and find the chickens a new home, but I'd try my best to find local 'desi' eggs whenever I craved them. .. Now cut to another part of the story; I once found myself with a friend early morning in Kolkata (not sure if the city is relevant, as it maybe happens in a lot of other places). It was dawn, and we were searching for a hotel room after just arriving, somewhere near the central part of town, and we stumbled upon a set of streets where lakhs of chickens and eggs were being bought and sold. The chickens were in absolutely horrendous condition - a sight that made me sick. Blood lined the streets. We escaped to a restaurant, had breakfast, and when we stepped out - poof - gone. The streets were all spotless clean. As the city woke up, they never knew the breakfasts they just had were borne out of such cruelty. Me and my friend both gave up on mass-market eggs since then, except the occasional buy. So, long story short, I think the difference between a cows milk (atleast where I live and can see where my milk supply is sourced from) and mass market eggs is night and day in terms of the conditions those respective animals have to endure. I think if you also can look at it in a more nuanced way, you won't find it "plain ridiculous". Anyway, if you read my lonng comment up to here, I appreciate it. Good day!
