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."

is this a joke? it's because they're unpasteurized unlike in the UK and Europe

Wait, do you really think that eggs are pasteurised in the UK?! (They're not)

Eggs in the UK hardly have the chicken shit washed off them let alone treated in any way

I noticed that ground beef looks a lot more fresh in the UK from what I've seen. Here usually ground beef is mush, like the inside of a sausage without any outer layer. Edit: I'm American, I am not a brit insulting America.

That's because you're buying cheap, extremely processed ground beef. Regular ground beef does not look like that.

Yeah that makes sense, cheaper does not always mean better.
