What is an egg, considered to be, dairy or meat? And why?

Answer 1

Answer 2

im giving you a star!!

VERY GOOD QUESTION!!!

sorry...dont have the answer!

Answer 3

well it's dairy-- it would never be considered meat.  If the egg should hatch, and a chicken would appear then it would be considered poultry.  :)

Answer 4

Never really thought about it, hmm I guess  Dairy since it's in the Dairy section at the  grocery store.

Answer 5

LOL, good question. Eggs are neither dairy OR meat. They are a group of their own- not surprisingly, eggs.

Eggs are suitable for vegetarians-- they are certainly not a flesh food.

Answer 6

It is dairy.  If the egg matures and hatches, it is a meat

Answer 7

It is considered a meat substitute. It is NOT dairy. Dairy products come from milk, eggs come from chickens. They are not milk based.

It's not technically meat either because it's not animal flesh. But because it comes from an animal and has much the same food value as meat it is considered a meat substitute.

Answer 8

meat because of its high protein like peanut butter

Answer 9

Good question. I think meat.
