Eggs...counted as Dairy or no?

Talking with my wife last night, we were discussing my building intolerance of dairy products. She asked about eggs, and I said that I didn’t have any issues with them, but that they didn’t have any lactose in them. We started to wonder why they were considered “Dairy”. Any thoughts?

Also, another question: is corn a vegetable or a starch? Her stance is that it’s a starch, like a potato. Mine is that it’s a vegetable, and count’s as both veggie and starch. Anyone got some clarification?

if they came out of a cow. yep!

eggs are not dairy, in any way.

the only similarity between eggs and milk/cheese is that they are non meat, animal products

Corn is DAIRY!.. it’s ONLY purpose is to transport BUTTER!

I didn’t know anyone considered eggs to be dairy.

Eggs are not dairy. They are just put in the dairy section of the supermarket, and most people that abstain from one abstain from the other.

Potatoes are both a vegetable and a starch. That’s not an either/or thing.

Chicken abortion.

Corn is a grain, so technically not a vegetable

While corn does have starch, it doesnt look like there’s alot of it in the carbohydrate makeup http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/cereal-grains-and-pasta/5687/2

And that they combine to make a delicious omelet.

so my quark is edible… and considered dairy?

Only between 10-40% FTP.

I thought eggs were fruit??? Cackle-fruit??

Very interesting. I see they left off powdered buttermilk (a kitchen necessity if you don’t use buttermilk a lot).

I grew up on Long Island and looked at colleges all up and down the east coast.

I remember walking the grounds of William and Mary, never having spent much time in the south. There was a family taking photos in front of a statue and the father said, “Ok, on three, say BUTTERMILK”.

I felt very out of place.

I grew up in Virginia (about 90 minutes from W&M) and I never heard anyone say that, but that’s hilarious.

You and your wife obviously don’t play Farmville…

False, chicken period. The eggs we eat are never fertilized.

Balut(eaten in SE Asia), on the other hand, is a chicken abortion. They let the chicks grow inside the eggs for a while, and then boil and eat them. Its just like a hard boiled egg, except half of it is an unhatched chick.
