i think this is a regional thing... i've met people who consider "dairy" to include eggs.

I used to consider eggs to be part of dairy, because of the 4 food groups. and because of supermarket shelves. doesn't make it so!

Somewhere in Shakespeare there's a line: "He's as full of wit as an egg is full of meat."

i definitely used to cross-wire dairy and eggs as a kid. must have been down to some kind of nutrition song or something that we learned?

milkmen always used to do eggs as well. perhaps that's where the confusion comes from. also, farms.
― koogs, Wednesday, 27 March 2019 12:49 (five years ago) link
I mean, meat comes from farms too. Farms and militiamen.

Wait, why would eggs even be part of a dairy food group?
― All along there is the sound of feedback (Sund4r), Wednesday, 27 March 2019 14:32 (five years ago) link
I always thought of it as part of the "meat/meat alternatives" group, which is also the first thing that comes upwhen I Google "4 food groups".

Cows continued to lay eggs until sometime during the Middle Ages, hence the confusion. History, folks. Look into it.

I suppose proximity in the supermarket might have also facilitated my childhood confusion.

I always had some confusion about whether eggs were 'dairy' and eggs are in their own special section in the supermarket here (which you can never find), far away from the milk. vague notions of eggs and dairy being in some similar category of something or other in the 80s

(I don't think I ever thought that eggs were dairy but they were definitely put in the same food group as milk in those old infographics.)

They played pretty fast and loose with food groups back in the day. Butter/margarine, for instance, was once a group unto itself. Not sure how many servings they recommended.

Not sure whether this explanation from Quora was machine-translated or just ESL but I like it.
The misguided judgment that eggs are dairy items is regularly an aftereffect of perplexity between the terms dairy item and creature repercussion. While eggs are, in reality, delivered by creatures and, in this way, a creature side effect, they are not a dairy item or a subsidiary of dairy items. Albeit numerous persons who don't devour dairy items likewise don't expend eggs as a consequence of sensitivities, dietary confinements, moral convictions or different reasons, persons who have milk hypersensitivities or are lactose narrow minded yet don't have a sensitivity to eggs can devour eggs as a piece of their eating routine without the antagonistic results connected with dairy intolerance or hypersensitivity.
