That’s not exactly surprising. Europe has a dispropotionally high prevelance of lactose-tolerance.
In most other places around the world lactose-intolerance is a lot more common.
Milking cows do better in cool temperatures, so it makes sense. The tropics don’t support milking cows as I understand it.
I was in Colombia recently, (in the andes, not in the jungle though), but loads of cows there. They put cheese in everything. Even in their chocolate MILK.
That sounds more than disgusting, did you try it?
It was less disgusting as expected, and i’m glad i did that once. I don’t think someone can convince me to try again, but they are right: it’s a contrast of flavours and textures (which i guess, i do like).
