This is anecdotal but pretty much all of the lactose intolerant people I know love dairy more than the lactose tolerant people. Something as small as your body not processing milk isn’t enough to stop them
It’s the innate desire to defy nature that drives us to our dairy addiction
Completely spitballing here based on your anecdotal observation, but I know that with lactose-intolerance, you’re lacking lactase for processing the lactose, so the lactose makes it unprocessed into the gut, where the gut microbiota then process the lactose and cause the usual symptomes.
Well, and those gut microbiota can signal to your brain that they want more of a given food (source).
So, maybe those bacteria in your gut fucking love lactose, because it is basically sugar, and so they instruct you to self-destruct.
Btw, there’s a batch of people on the westcoast of africa who developed lactose tolerance indepently. Seems it happens all the time, if a community relies heavily on livestock.
I mean, if it’s “milk or death”, evolution, uh, finds a way.
As a Western European, I can verify this. I will fight you for cheese. Doesn’t matter if it’s blue stilton, sharp cheddar, chevre, feta, or maasdam. Cheese is life.
I don’t get the lactose intolerance thing. I’m Chinese and I have no problem with dairy, milk is common at supermarkets across East Asia. Korean and Japanese people love slathering cheese on things. Coffee with milk is really common in China.
I look at stats like how we are supposed to be 98% lactose intolerant and think I’m being gaslit one way or another. At this point I know more lactose intolerant white people than Asian people.

The entire .zip TLD is blocked as a security risk.
Maybe don’t use a domain that looks like a virus payload.
Maybe I’m not technically literate enough to get what you’re saying, but these are jpg images
That website domain ends in .zip
The .zip domain is blocked for me because it looks like a virus/malware site.
Nobody legit should be using a .zip website.
Damn, I had no idea difference versions of Lemmy would be blocked because of the domain name. Fucking hell, I just moved from beehaw not too long ago
It’s not a Lemmy thing.
It’s a new domain Google introduced over the objections of security experts.
Why would any legit site choose that domain?
It’s like putting your website at virus.com or something.

As an Indian, I love my dairy taste. I have an ick for anti-dairy extremists that try to push their “eww its meant for cows” bullshit agenda.
I exclusively drink dog milk, it’s actually sweeter than dairy.
It’s a bit sad when you have to keep immediately taking the puppies away from the female dogs and they sniff around and search for them for months and months, howling and barking.
But it’s a whole lot cuter than cows when you kill the male dogs (because they don’t produce milk), it’s cute seeing them wag their little tails right before the bolt to the brain!
Plus dog milk is better for the environment! Not as good as plant milk, but the idea of consuming plants is “ick”.
Nothing wrong with dog’s milk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfI_YUGjqFs
