Milk Is Racist!

No, really!

And, snark aside, they have a point – it’s people from northern Europe, as well as people from cold, high-altitude places like Tibet and the Caucasus, that have any tolerance for other species’ milk; it was a trait selected for by millennia of survival in places where people couldn’t eat most of the vegetation most of the time, but animals could, turning inedible celliulose into edible fat.

But that’s about all the slack I’ll give the article, by one Andrea Freeman, a law professor; the rest of it is chock full of lines like this:

Popular racial stereotypes cast African-Americans and Latinos as fat and lazy, lacking the will power necessary to ward off obesity and other food-related illnesses.

Popular smug liberal stereotype of honkeys is that we “cast African-Americans and Latinos” as anything at all as a group.

  1. Knowing that lactase production, even in caucasians, is limited, I would dare say that those idiots chugging half gallons of whole milk to “prove their point” deserve everything coming to them. Or, ahem, coming out of them when the lactose in that milk is not broken down, and it accelerates, ahem, the gastric processes.

    And while I tend to favor Mayo’s food pyramid over the USDA pyramid/MyPlate for precisely the reason that most of the world does not digest milk well, the USDA isn’t racist in that. They’re just trying to get votes for budget from dairy country, that’s all.
