This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Did anyone else learn that eggs are dairy products? (Meaning, the word 'dairy' encompasses both eggs and milk. Not that eggs are somehow produced by cows)
Yes, and for some odd reason a lot of folks I know who are lactose intolerant are also slightly allergic to eggs..
Yes! Never really thought to question it though... now I'm re-thinking everything I thought I knew about food clarification!
I had attributed that to our fuzzy food categories. Some of which are due to how ingredient usage doesn't map well to botany, some is just marketing.
I suspect the perception of eggs as dairy could have shifted for practical reasons: lactose intolerance became more visible, and we needed a short way to say milk and milk products, without using the word milk.
