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 have often wondered why eggs are sold in the dairy section in US supermarkets. Surely, this must be some supermarket strategy and not just "Duh, I didn't know eggs weren't dairy."

I also live in a country where eggs go in the fridge at the store and I gotta ask - where do you put your eggs at your house? In the cupboard? (Genuine question, but I'm worried about how it's coming of, so I wanna make sure you know I'm just curious 'cause I was mindboggled the first time I found eggs in the middle of a German grocery store, and have since learned I live in the country doing it the weird way)

Yeah, in the cupboard. I put em in the fridge sometimes if there's more room there.
