Biological Proof: Why Eggs Can Never Be Dairy Under Any Nutritional Standard
By Maya Lin-Takahashi
Supermarkets will almost certainly continue displaying egg cartons a few feet from milk jugs. Supply chains depend on cold efficiency, and retail refrigeration setups are unlikely to change anytime soon.
Shoppers, however, need to look past grocery store layouts. Eggs are an animal protein produced through avian reproduction, aligning squarely with poultry in both biology and farming. Dairy requires mammalian milk production, creating an entirely separate class of fats, proteins, and sugars. Understanding that difference keeps diets safe, clears up unnecessary food fears, and grounds daily nutrition in basic biology.
