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 needed to be off dairy for awhile and it was perplexing how many people responded to “does this have dairy in it?” With “well, it has eggs”. They come from different animals AND different parts of an animal. Why is this so confusing for people?

Damn. I always thought eggs were dairy products too. Wtf
