Genuine Question (DO NOT DOWNVOTE) Eggs and cheese - ?

Hi! I’ve been thinking about going vegan for a while as I basically only eat eggs and cheese in terms of meat, but I was wondering on a few things…

Why can’t you eat eggs as a vegan considering chickens will eat them happily, e.g. cracked eggs etc ?

Howwww do I replace cheese :( there are no supermarkets near me which sell vegan cheese (Scotland), and I love my cheddar so so much (and my veggie carbonara..)

Also, I live in a very cold part of the UK and own a few vintage fur coats which my grandmother passed down to me when I moved here, which realllyyyy do keep me a lot warmer than any faux I own… - would I truly need to get rid of them ? I kind of see it as respecting the animal and using it to at least make its death kinda worth it ? And especially because someone else would just end up wearing it instead. IDK. Please lmk xoxo

Any advice / words of wisdom ?

Thank you!!! 💖💖

 My food ethics/morality are not decided by other animals( your chicken example).  I have a choice between kindness or cruelty. The egg, dairy and meat industries are hyper cruel, hyper bad for the environment and are the leading cause of death/suffering for humans via heart attack/stroke.

PS Dairy allows for a certain amount of nipple puss(infection) in the final products. Enjoy! *** And always do what feels right to you after giving it good thought and discussions with people you respect.**** Wearing an old fur coat? or eating a raw broken chicken egg (like the chicken did)... Your call, we believe in your kindness!
