The effects of Dairy on people in general is a little creepy, especially when paired with the sugar in tomato sauce when semi-caramelized and given heat.
As someone who is lactose intolerant, but also addicted to cheese i can believe dairy is addictive.
My ex-fiance was also lactose intolerant and even took a weird pill to be able to keep eating it. Until meeting her I wasn't really thinking about how there's dairy in so many things.
I swear it operates like a mild sedative.

...oh my god, hold onto that thing forever.

Lactase. It's just a pill of the enzyme that breaks down lactose. Very useful.

It is in everything. I Can't remember the source now, but I heard a "a long time ago that described the Celts in midevil times as "Men who subsist on meat and milk" And I think about that a lot when considering modern American diet.

Great article.
Curiously, the Greco-Roman disdain for dairy stopped short at cheese.
Damn, even with them shitting on people for eating dairy products even they fell prey to the allure of cheese.
Apparently a lot of this is over storage temperatures, but that it became a way to culturally insult people over barbarism or wealth disparity is fun to read about. It was once the Refrigerator became more of a household commodity that we saw Dairy take off a lot harder, so... I guess we can causally blame that innovation for people gaining so much weight?
If they could see what the world looks like now...
But Mediterranean people had little need for butter. They already had olive oil, which is less prone to spoilage, heats to much higher temperatures without burning, and was and is regarded as more healthful. Even now in North Africa, most of Greece, Mediterranean France, Spain, and most—but certainly not all—of Italy, olive oil dominates and butter is rarely used. An omelet may be made with butter in Greece today, but until recently, even that was made with olive oil.
Interesting to see the Olive Oil vs Butter debate has an extensive history that goes well beyond concerns over health.
If anyone can take credit for raising milk and butter up to respectability, it is the dairy-crazed Dutch.
In the country’s early years, the Dutch were singled out as a crude and comic people endlessly engorged on milk, butter, and cheese. Even the Flemish laughed at them, calling them kaaskoppen, or “cheese heads.” Northerners, too, belittled the Dutch for their dairy habits. One English pamphlet said, “A Dutchman is a lusty, fat, two legged cheese-worm.”
The Dutch navy, which in the 16th century was becoming a formidable force, issued to each sailor a weekly ration of half a pound of cheese, half a pound of butter, and a five-pound loaf of bread. The historian Simon Schama calculated that a Dutch ship with a crew of 100 in 1636 would need among their provisions 450 pounds of cheese and one and a quarter tons of butter.
An ample supply of cheese and butter was the right of every Dutchman. They believed that dairy food was an essential part of a good diet, and artists from the celebrated Dutch school of still-life painting often included cheeses in their compositions. The Dutch made many cheeses and had an effective distribution system, with numerous urban centers featuring cheese markets.
After the cheeseheads proved themselves geniuses—and established a widely emulated, global empire—the main bastion of anti-dairy sentiment was East Asia. Japanese Buddhists avoided dairy products and looked down on Westerners, who they thought consumed too much dairy. They claimed they could smell it on them, and even into the 20th century used the pejorative term Batā dasaku, or “butter stinker,” for a Westerner.
They are generally healthier.

I've only tried about 20 of them and read maybe 50.
But yes, it would appear so.
My sister told me about the instructions on how to skin and gut dead rodents. I didn't see it for myself.
I'll go and look for that shortly.
Bbl :)
Hell yes :)

I have so many food intolerances and sensitivities I’d worry I’d starve in the US. But then I think there is greater allergy awareness there and more options

Couldn’t find the vid. But reminds me of a fella I met from Canada who thought the idea that strawberries had a season was absolutely hilarious and just couldn’t get over it. He was doing stand-up comedy and was writing a routine about how funny it was that people in this country thought that different fruits had different seasons

They do though, unless they're grown somewhere tropical and always warm
