I grew up poor as a kid and me and my brothers always dreamed of gobbling up all sorts of sugary snacks. One summer we got a hold of three cartons of vanilla ice cream and several 2 liter bottles of root beer. We had just heard about how to make root beer floats, so we made the biggest ones we could and gorged ourselves on it all in one sitting.
We got so sick and unwell hours later ... we didn't lose it through diarrhea or vomiting but our stomachs felt like someone had taken a basebat to us ... we're Indigenous so we were all lactose intolerant.
I haven't had a root beer float since.
As a european that has limited knowledge about this, but is really curious, I want to ask: Are most true americans lactose intolerant or is it just something that runs in your family or tribe and is different for others?
around 65% of people are lactose intolerant, with the vast majority of them being of European descent.
Lactose intolerance is the norm. Most people outside of Europe (and colonized by Europe) are lactose intolerant. Y'all have superpowers as far as the rest of the world is concerned.
