They just are not.

They come from CHICKENS (or ducks or whatever).

NOT COWS.

You fucking morons, ELC.

I am not being unreasonable.

amazingmumof6 · 22/06/2013 15:12

YANBU
As other posters have said people muddling up dairy allergy and egg allergy is not at all helpful.

amazingmumof6 · 22/06/2013 15:20

startail or to give children the idea that eggs are dairy!

I mean I know the Easter Bunny lays choc eggs, so maybe rabbits are dairy too, but a cow laying eggs is just too far fetched!Grin

Notafoodbabyanymore · 22/06/2013 15:25

Any animal milk product is dairy according to Dr Google.

StealthPolarBear · 22/06/2013 15:26

So all those women who go dairy free when breastfeeding their baby...whats the point?

LeGavrOrf · 22/06/2013 15:28

I read on a thread here today about allergies that someone thought an allergy to dairy included eggs. Strange. It's obvious what dairy means (well I thought so)

squeakytoy · 22/06/2013 15:31

of course goats cheese is dairy!!

MrsLouisTheroux · 22/06/2013 15:39

For a comprehensive list of dairy (milk) products see here
:)

amazingmumof6 · 22/06/2013 15:40

dairy free means you can still have goats milk or goats cheese, buffalo mozzarella etc.

allergic to dairy means you can't have cows milk and products.

MrsLouisTheroux · 22/06/2013 15:42

"As an attributive, the word dairy refers to milk-based products, veil, derivatives and processes, and the animals and workers involved in their production: for example dairy cattle, dairy goat. A dairy farm produces milk and a dairy factory processes it into a variety of dairy products. These establishments constitute the dairy industry, a component of the food industry."

mrslouis AIBU that I want to play a game based on your link?

one point for each product you've ever consumed!Grin

YADNBU.

I'm dairy intolerant. In restaurants when I tell the waiter/waitress to see if I can eat something, I am often told "it contains eggs". The temptation to ask whether they are cow eggs is sometimes too much.

amazingmumof6 · 22/06/2013 15:50

is there a big misunderstanding between the industry terms and common usage?

very puzzling

MrsLouisTheroux · 22/06/2013 15:51

amazing Grin I am spending my Saturday afternoon happily researching dairy Farms and their products!

MrsLouisTheroux · 22/06/2013 15:54

Common usage: Cows milk from a dairy.
Actual definition of 'dairy' : see above!

amazingmumof6 · 22/06/2013 15:59

I'm happy to learn!

"dairy free means you can still have goats milk or goats cheese, buffalo mozzarella etc."

not to my knowledge it doesnt.. they are still dairy products

GibberTheMonkey · 22/06/2013 16:11

It comes from the days when animal produce was dealt with on the farm.

The eggs went through the dairy, normally because they were dealt with by the farmers wife and she also creamed the milk, made the butter and cheese.

amazingmumof6 · 22/06/2013 16:15

thanks squeaky I'm amused by that!
