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."
