cautions and contraindications:

    Cautions and contraindications: You want to reduce or eliminate chicken eggs from your diet.

    Ecological implications: The production of meat (including chickens and chicken eggs) creates more harmful greenhouse gases than the exhaust of all the cars, trucks, and other motor vehicles combined, according to Ingrid Newkirk, co-founder and president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. This includes clear-cut removal of forest lands and rain forests to create grazing and feed lands, feed lands that require growing 16 times as much plant food for the creation of one pound (or one kilogram) of animal food (meat and poultry), and huge amounts of animal burbs and farts when grown in factory farming.
