Eggs are pareve. They are neither meat nor dairy. (Unless you are talking about cow eggs.)

IMO its a meat
theres a little unborn chicken in there

They're in the protein section of the traditional food pyramid (meats, beans, nuts, eggs). They're stocked in the dairy section of the store. I'd consider them neither, just eggs.

Dairy is defined as being made from milk. Eggs are not dairy. They belong to the meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dry beans, and nuts group on the food pyramid.

dont know about meat but in most asian countries eggs are raw or contain a developed embryo,complete with feathers,so it could be called poultry.in the philippines they are called 'balut'considered a delicacy.taste awful though,unless your a philippino.

They are an animal by-product, not animal.

Eggs are considered as eggs

Technically according to the food pyramid eggs are considered a meat ....
They have alot of protein in them....
If you didn't keep eggs in the refrigerator they would go bad after a couple of days at leaving them at room temperature unless you have an animal ontop of them turning them all the time so that they can produce a chick inside...
But they are considered a meat product.

Neither they are an unfertilized egg. Nothing living in it. I guess you could consider it meat but nobody does.

dairy

Dairy stuff comes from a cow. I would consider eggs to be non-meat protein.
