Search this forum, there was a thread months ago in which MH and Lapis argued back and forth. MH was against all raw eggs, Lapis actually thinks it's natural to discover a raw egg once in a while. Personally I think there aren't enough wild eggs to go around, so even if they were nutritious we should leave nature alone. If it's the lecithin you're after but don't want it derived from soya then you could try sunflower lecithin.
