    Only a rather small group of people were even able to consume milk past infancy without negative health effects, and that’s mostly because they were the ones that survived the famine that necessitated surviving such a diet. Lactase persistence is a recessive gene

      As in, people have literally evolved to be able to drink cow’s milk.

      Small group of many, many millions of people. We like milk. We don’t need commercials to tell us it tastes good.

      I honestly don’t know what the fuck you weirdos are trying to accomplish. Are you saying we don’t enjoy milk? Or simply that we shouldn’t?

      Because if the argument is that it’s advertising that made use enjoy is, you’re wrong. We enjoyed it well before ads.

      And if your argument is that we should dislike something simply because you expect us to dislike something, I think you’ve got your own disorder.

      I don’t hate what you hate. Fool, Get a clue.

      Glad my ancestors survived your favorite famine. Also glad I have feet. Evolution is neat.

      Btw I’m Italian. We drink milk. And we eat cheese. We are tied with Japan for the longest national lifespan. We will also drink coffee if there ok with you. Thanks! Do what you do over there. We got this.

        Wow, here’s something I would have expected from Reddit, not Lemmy. I’ll just be a weirdo, not funding the horrors we subject cattle in order to obtain something that the population of only a few countries can even consume past infancy, of which the original need was borne of desperation. But you like it, so you do you, and to hell with everyone else, human or otherwise.
