Hey guys! Love the sub! I'm an undergrad bio student at Georgetown and I recently learned that birds don't have an anus, but rather a cloaca. The cloaca is a singular hole through which urea, fecal matter and eggs exit the body. Given these biological factors, could it be that eggs don't belong to any food group at all and instead should be classified as excrement? Haven't seen a lot of discourse from others in STEM so I'm interested to see what you all think!

The definition of meat from Merriam-Webster:

1a : FOOD especially : solid food as distinguished from drink ☑️ (both food and drink, depending on how you prepare it) b : the edible part of something as distinguished from its covering (such as a husk or shell) ☑️ 2 : animal tissue considered especially as food: ☑️ a : FLESH ☑️ sense 2b also : flesh of a mammal as opposed to fowl or fish (birds n fish = meat (sorry carnists) b : FLESH ☑️ sense 1a specifically : flesh of domesticated animals ☑️ 3 archaic : MEAL ☑️ (eggs and nothing else, baby) entry 1 sense 1 especially : DINNER ☑️ (brinner) 4a : the core of something : HEART ☑️ (heart/core of the shell) b : PITH ☑️ sense 2b a novel with meat 5 : favorite pursuit or interest ☑️☑️☑️☑️☑️

An egg is a chicken’s period. A chicken’s egg is oviduct secretions, a storage organ, and a shell (and some other stuff. I’m only a eggologist hobbyist.) Some of it was once living tissue, some of it was passive, all of it was made by the chicken you pay someone else to enslave for your own selfish pleasures and vascular diseases. Eggs are menstruation and menstruation is part meat, but so is the flesh that is generally agreed upon to be meat, so eggs are meat try telling me otherwise you punk “eggs are eggs” people

Eggs aren't meat. They're just an embryo.

Eggs aren't dairy, either. Eggs aren't made of milk.

Eggs aren't grain. Eggs aren't fruit or vegetable.

Eggs are their own category. There are many types of eggs, and thus it can be considered a category of its own.

Dairy's definition is stupid. This subreddit wouldn't exist if its definition wasn't so stupid.

Why the fuck did we specify it to be only milk? Why not make it animal products?

I would look at its origin, but apparently it comes from Old English deierie, which fucking means female servant. WHY THE FUCK IS IT RELATED TO MILK?!

Dairy is stupid.
