    I haven’t! I only started eating eggs a few weeks ago. I wanted to cut down on the insane amount of oat milk, muesli and oats that I normally consume and all I ever hear is that eggs are amazing for you.

    I’ve been a vegetarian for years so every time someone sees me with eggs they say ‘are you allowed to eat eggs?’ which royally fucks me off. Bitch I’m 40 years old, I can eat whatever the fuck I like.

      I’ve been mistaken for a vegetarian a few times even though I’m not, and have never claimed to be. I don’t eat pork (no, not religious reasons, just don’t like it) so when I ask for no bacon, sausage, etc people automatically assume I’m a vegetarian. I don’t quite know how they jump to that conclusion.

      I’ve never been big on meats and these days there’s loads to choose from which is non-meat. Given the option I’ll choose plant based.

      Not that it matters at all and there is never a need to strictly hold yourself to a dietary rule. The term for a vegetarian that eats eggs and dairy is “Lacoto-ovo vegetarian”
