    Whether destined for a shredding

    or barn, chicks go from shell to hell.
    The only cruelty-free option is NOT to eat eggs
    Eggs and Health
    • There are no nutrients in eggs that
    cannot be obtained from plant-
    based foods.

    • Eggs contain high amounts of


    cholesterol and saturated fat –
    two of the main causes of heart
    disease, diabetes and some
    cancers.

    • Research also indicates that eggs


    can inhibit the absorption of iron
    and contribute to loss of calcium.
