Eggs ... I have never heard of it either. You are right, it might just be another part of the Vaishnavite tradition stuck on top of Gyan out of convenience. Personally, I do not think eggs are vegetarian and it was one of the great travesties of Western vegetarianism to introduce them just to confuse issues ... but, in the bigger picture, I think we put too much emphasis on food and over play the significance of food (e.g. I don't cook and buy onions, and they do make one smell, but the last time I ate something with some in, I did not become some ravishing, aggressive, sex slave overnight).
What it does suggest to me though, and your posts confirm this, that you diet is too "Yin" and what you are craving is some "Yang" to try and balance it. Read up on Macrobiotics to understand what I am saying. Try cutting down on the sugary, sweet, fruity things and instead used more baked, fried and salted foods, and well cooked wholegrains.
With regards to a BK run restaurant/coffee, I should think that would be such a complete hit it is a wonder that the Beakies have not done one before now. Imagine ... single BKs could go there, invite non-BKs, and pretend that they could go out and eat at restaurants. It would be a wonderful pretense for service. Remember where you read this first folks!
All the same, I would have to check in with the PBKs as to whether that would be in accordance with Shrimat and whether Brahma Bhogan bought over a counter still REALLY counts as pure food ... I am not sure but it works for the Hare Krishnas. I suspect at best ONLY if the restaurant is ethical and not-for-profit.
What a laugh if we become the incubator for "good service ideas" within the BK family.
Eggs ... listen to your body, try one or two, and let us know what difference it makes to your Yoga and consciousness. Go free range and organic; some happy chicks scratching in the dirt with a handsome cock. It will not kill you nor destroy your Kalpa's worth of karma.
All those things they told you REALLY are not such big things ... whereas some of the dirty tricks they get up to SERIOUSLY are. Its all a question of keeping things in proportion.
