I believe if your heritage is from a part of the world where people have been drinking cow milk for a long time then you inherit a tolerance, but some people, like most asians, can't tolerate cow milk. (might not necessarily have to be COW milk :P)

yeah that seems to be more or less the case. isn't it something like 80% of asians are lactose intolerant?

Probably. That's why their eyes are slanted. It's from making the kind of faces that are caused by the passing and smelling of farts.

You think lactose intolerant people even drink milk containing lactose? lol

Are you asking me? If so then you're taking my comment too seriously.

I don't know. Does it kill you, or just cause indigestion?

I'd probably be eating dairy anyways. Ice cream, cheese, etc. It's all too delicious to pass up. Oh wait, don't they have pills that take care of the issue?

I knew a lady that told everyone that she was allergic to onions. Everywhere we went she would insist that her food not contain any onions at all. I'd never heard of an onion allergy before. After questioning her about it one day, I decided that she wasn't allergic but was in fact too precious to ever have a smelly fart - which is exactly what happens when she eats onions.

It's like this gluten-free fad. I'll wager that only a tiny fraction of people who insist they need gluten-free food actually have celiac disease.

Cow milk was avoided in a lot of cuisine actually. Middle easterners and southern Europeans preferred goat dairy products over it for a long time.

Yeah people who ate at taco bell would constantly ask for gluten free items. After we told them that literally everything of ours has gluten, all the tacos and burritos, they said we were liars because they eat the corn tortillas and feel "fine". We would have to dhow then the official for stating that the only thing gluten free we offer is the salad that doesn't come in a taco bowl or wrap.

One shall stand, one shall ball.

The gluten free fad is great because it lead to me finding a container of salt with a gluten free label on it. It's the little things in life.

Gluten free labels are on everything over here too. It's ridiculous.

i feel like the stress of imposing dietary restrictions upon yourself would undo any of the benefits of the dietary restriction itself. i'll respect other people that do it but i still think it's silly

Seriously people need to stop watching Dr Oz. If you're fat then you have a shitty diet, period. You can eat anything, just have common sense about how much and how often you eat certain things. I had a chicken sandwich from wendy's last night. It was a fried delicious wonder, and I covered it with BBQ sauce that was full of sugar. It was delicious. But I can't eat shit like that ALL THE TIME. I won't let myself have another one for at least 6 weeks or so. Tonight I will have a baked chicken breast with green beans and it will be tasty.
