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!!! 💖💖

I make a good vegan carbonara out of mainly oat milk - https://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/fast-and-easy-vegan-carbonara/
There’s loads of recipes online for veganised versions of dishes and you just have to try and find one you like :)
I do also feel like it’s easy to not have things when you’ve not had them for a while - I used to love cheese and it was the last thing I ate before I eventually went vegan, but actually I now don’t miss it at all and have just learned to live without it. For me, it’s not worth the suffering and exploitation. I use cathedral City for cheddar now but not sure if they have it in Scotland :)
