Eggs as dairy?
Eggs and milk products are in some circumstances grouped together under the heading of dairy, probably because fresh eggs were often sold by milkmen. For example, the Open Directory Project at one point listed cooking eggs as a subcategory of cooking dairy products. However, dictionary definitions of "dairy" are limited to milk products and, as a result, will always exclude eggs and egg products.
Beef as dairy?
Since dairy products are generally defined as foodstuffs produced from milk, rather than foodstuffs produced from a cow, beef is not considered a dairy product. Beef is not derived from milk. Dairy products include food made from (or consisting of) the milk of any animal, so if beef were to be considered a dairy product, any other meat from a milk-producing animal (e.g. goat) would be considered dairy as well.

Just because the milk man sold some eggs, doesn't mean he gets to rebuild the food pyramid. Does it?
