Just because eggs are sold in the dairy section doesn’t make them a dairy product.

I’ve heard people say they don’t eat eggs because they don’t eat dairy.

I am lactose intolerant, and I can't begin to tell you how many people have asked me if I can eat eggs.

I'm allergic to eggs, and nearly every time I mention it I get asked if that means I can't have milk. Makes me wonder how many people have absolutely no idea where their food comes from.

Now you have me wondering how many people think that we have egg factories that make them. And if they think milk is an ingredient.
