Yeah, on a global level lactose tolerance is the weird thing. Most people are lactose intolerant. White folks and India got the weird gene because our barbarous proto-indo-european forebears had to subsist on cow byproducts for a long time while they were busy conquering and colonizing other, weaker prehistoric people who ate "meat" and "vegetables"

there was a weird nazi dogwhistle I saw about being about to digest milk as an adult, but given that any culture (heh) that drinks/eats milk (Masai, Mongolians) has that enzyme... well, heck, it's almost as though white supremacists are idiots

apparently humans evolve the enzyme really fast (5000 years or something)

I used to feel a lot more seriously about lactose intolerance, and then I found out that it's not like a deadly poison like peanut allergies, it's just some intestinal distress and messy poops and farts.

I thought that food allergies were all serious medical conditions, but some are just fairly minor and people sometimes just assume without getting a doctor's diagnosis. That's how gluten became sort of a reverse fad food as a bunch of people just started to recommend cutting gluten as a sort of cure-all.

I know a number of people who've self-diagnosed gluten sensitivity, which is not an agreed-upon medical thing. generally, within a year, they'd just quietly start eating gluten and drinking beer again.

it drives my friend with a severe gluten allergy absolutely nuts

Lactose intolerance not a huge deal, but if you were in a situation where you had to eat dairy regularly then the guys that are making GBS threads 20 times a day and constantly letting out loud stinky farts could have a disadvantage vs. the guys that don't. It doesn't even have to be that your loud stinky farts keep waking up the saber toothed tigers or whatever, the gross milk fart guy may just get laid less often than the fart-free guy.

Lactose intolerance is importantly distinct from an allergy because it's lack of an enzyme to break down lactose, not an immune response, that in severe cases like celiac disease can damage your intestines and render you unable to absorb nutrients. You can also be allergic to dairy, which can come with all the symptoms of any other major food allergy, and is a lot more severe, that's why it's a required listed allergen on food packaging.

Any mess of stuff you can't digest will cause butt problems, see that low-calorie chip oil that was wrecking guts, or sugar-free gummies.

I know they make pills that contain the enzyme, I don't know how well they work though, I guess not so well since I have cousins that will complain about the effects on their stomachs even after taking them.

I'm mildly lactose intolerant. I won't drink a glass of milk (but I never really liked just drinking milk anyway) and usually won't drink a milkshake (although milkshakes are usually too much sugar for me anyway). I'll eat a little ice cream sometimes, but I'll take lactaid beforehand if I can. I usually take lactaid when I eat pizza, and it helps quite a bit. It's not 100% perfect, but it's a huge improvement.

I don't bother when I eat a sandwich with a slice of cheese on it or something like that, because it won't mess up my guts.

Sometimes it just comes down to "does it matter if I have gross farts for the next hour?" and sometimes the answer is no.

Cheese is also better than milk for lactose intolerance because the fermentation / aging breaks down lactose.

The mutation that allows some of us to digest milk as adults is "lactase persistence" - I find it weird that it's still mostly known as "lactose intolerance" since that's actually the baseline.

I have eaten every kind of wild animal you can imagine from the Gulf Coast regions of the US. I know what the weirdest animal or bug thing you can think of tastes like. Also most of the grasses, trees and fruits. Being a dipshit redneck gives you plenty of free time to be stupid as gently caress, bored, and hungry/ actually starving so you get creative. I don't want to be proud of it so I'm not but I'll talk about it all day. Food is food when you need it and sometimes you're hungry enough to wonder if nutria tastes good smoked over oak wood. It does.

And if you're wondering all the animals tasted like a worse version of something you already eat with the exception of squirrel. Those little things are delicious. I mean seriously go eat a squirrel someday.

'Are you both crazy?' the doctor cried shrilly, backing away in paling
confusion.
'Yes, he really is crazy, Doc,' Captain Capslock assured him. 'Every night he dreams
he's holding a fish mac n cheese taco in his hands.' The doctor stopped in his tracks
with a look of elegant amazement and distaste, and the ward grew still.
'He does what?' he demanded.
'He dreams he's holding a fish mac n cheese taco in his hand.'
'What kind of fish mac n cheese taco?' the doctor inquired sternly of Pastry of the Year.
'I don't know,' Pastry of the Year answered. 'I can't tell one kind of fish taco from
another.'
'In which hand do you hold them?'
'It varies,' answered Pastry of the Year.
'It varies with the fish,' Captain Capslock added helpfully.
The colonel turned and stared down at Captain Capslock suspiciously with a narrow
squint. 'Yes? And how come you seem to know so much about it?'
'I'm in the dream,' Captain Capslock answered without cracking a smile.

we keep debating this when the squirrels get feisty and invasive, but we haven't (literally) pulled the trigger yet. I think squirrel is the typical game meat for Brunswick stew.

a hawk nested in my backyard a couple years ago, and one way or another, that kept the population down for a while.

This is wildly important. Where I'm from you have to spend a lot of time around the guys that did it wrong and have lead poisoning to learn how to do it right. They're really great hunters and they'll teach you all the right things. But all think they can talk to Jesus directly and think Trump cultists aren't political enough. It's a quick lesson in why you listen to the Elders about the practical and not the philosophical.

That would be delicious if they had fried off all the pork products first to render the fat and get it nice and crispy.

As is it's mostly boiled mush in grease.
