As for food groups, eggs can be considered a “meat” because of it’s high protien content.

Eggs do have a lot of protein in them, and they’re always near the milk hence the reason why some people get confused that they are dairy. I did a search from ask.com and this is what it came up with:

Q:Are eggs considered to be a dairy product?

A: What part of the cow would you consider they come from?

Giving you the benefit of the doubt, we looked up the word dairy in a dictionary to find that it comes from an Old English word for a “female bread baker.” The root of the word is the modern-day word for “dough.” And it is conceivable to us that eggs have as much relevance to the origin of the word dairy as butter does.

But nowadays, the word dairy only has to do with milk and cream and related products: sour cream, butter, cheese, yogurt, etc. You may often find eggs and dairy categorized together (several Ochef directory pages lump them together, for example), but they remain as distinct as the species from which they come.

I say eggs are meat because they come from animals.
But so does Milk!!
I mean eggs (in nature or on breeding farms) will eventually turn into an animal. Milk obviously won’t do that. And besides, the question merely asked if eggs are meat, and my answer is YES.

as a person who continually eats ~24 eggs a week…

i’d have to say i call them meat… only because they are a source of (somewhat) lean (and dirt-cheap) breakfast protein.

i’m not sure if it really matters if they are fertilized or not… i mean, does that change how the chickens that lay them a treated? or does that not matter? guess i don’t really know the answer to either question…

but i do eat a lot of eggs (mostly whites almost no yolks)…

guess i really have nothing to contribute… nevermind… :gotme: :gotme:

wow third edit… anyway i seem to remember from 6th grade home and careers class (it was required, shut the fuck up) that eggs belong to the meat group along with nuts etc… but i’m not sure if that matters…

meat = muscle of animal reguardless if its a chicken, pig, cow, fish

egg /= muscle so its not meat. Eggs are eggs they are not meat

^ but if fish is meat, why are catholics allowed to eat it on Fridays during lent?

anyway, eggs = meat. game over. :slight_smile:

because you should know by now religion can make up whatever crackpot rules they want and people will follow it.

Why can’t you serve chicken with dairy? Do chickens give milk?

chickens don’t give milk. they feed their young by chewing up worms and regurgitating it into their mouths. If you were a mama bird, you wouldn’t want your kids beaks poking at your tits every time they’re thirsty, would ya?

who says you can’t serve chicken with dairy? There’s Hot Pockets that have chicken and cheddar cheese (DAIRY!!) in them. You can have mashed potatoes with chicken. The instant potatoes usually need milk when you make 'em. I’m sure there’s more, but these are just 2 things that I personally have had in the last 24 hours or so. :wink:

yeah, I know. it was more of a sarcastic question. Because I know Catholicism is pretty much a crackpot religion anyway. (No offense to Catholics, I just think it’s funny that Catholics are the only ones with a cover charge to go to church.)

Go to a kosher restaurant and ask for a chicken sandwich with cheese on it.

The Torah says not to “boil a kid in its mother’s milk.” (Ex. 23:19; Ex. 34:26; Deut. 14:21). A chicken doesn’t give milk, but you can’t have chicken with dairy if you are following Kashrut.

Edit: For the definition of meat.

meat
n.

  • The edible flesh of animals, especially that of mammals as opposed to that of fish or poultry.
  • The edible part, as of a piece of fruit or a nut.

Eggs are eggs, not meat.

trust me

your comparing apples to oranges. even a fertalized embryo starts out with no “meat” on it’s bones. Meat is just a term used in the english laanguage to describe the edible (and deliciously tasty) matter in an animal. Liver is not meat, it is Liver…get my point?

thats the case ladies and gents. Meat is just a describing word. techinacally when you eat “meat” you are eating “top round” or “center cut” or "Chicken thigh/leg)

-Cheater-

Why do you eat so many eggs? heh

Dairy= milk or derivations of milk.

However I didn’t know this: An egg is a pejorative term for a White person who “acts Asian”.

lol… winks.

eggs are for people who work out, or are poor.

ite meat

Pork is red meat. Look it up. You’ve fallen prey to some great marketing.

or both. :wink:

who cares? :stuck_out_tongue:

its food so u eat it end of story haha

I was actually poking fun at both the poultry… and the other white meat.

but thanks for pointing out the sarcasm.

anything that bleeds = red meat in my book

LMAO!!!
