    [quote="Bugsy"][quote="Maple"][quote]1 billion Chinese,[/quote]

    About 1.3 billion, and most aren't lactose intolerant, it's just there was not a lot of milk doing the rounds fairly recently - they soon get the hang of it. Also this crap about preferring a vegi diet? False, like Eastern Europeans up until 1991 it was difficult (read neigh-on imposable in some areas) to get meat and the peasants had long been forced to eat whatever was around, as soon as meat became generally available and affordable the locals started scoffing like born carnivores

    Edited to add Bugger, too slow[/quote]
    And your point is? I said that my figures were approximate and I deliberately left out the 0.3 billion, because I roughly calculated that they'd be the ones who might conceivably drink milk now and again. All the rest don't.

    But while you're here;[b] why exactly is it that it's predominantly cow's milk that's drunk? Why not dog's milk or horse's milk? [/b]

    I'd say it is a matter of taste. Horses milk is very sweet and sheep milk is a bit sour.

    Based on what? Please don't ever become an analyst!

    And your point is?
    You're wrong - not that difficult for most people to grasp

    why exactly is it that it's predominantly cow's milk that's drunk?
    Dunno, I'll be back out there in a few weeks, you want me to ask? Perhaps it's what's being sold?

    Better make that 999,999 Chinese. The Jade Dream loves ice-cream, milkshakes, philadelphia and a host of other dairy stuff. She doesn't suffer any ill effects.

    And then there's bubble milk tea. Made with actual milk in most parts of Taiwan. Incredibly popular, but no wide scale health crises as a result.
    We need people who look to the stars, holding the nation and the world in their hearts but at the same time we need down-to-earth people who can do serious and trying work.

    In a definite sense, a country's power and prestige isn't only a reflection of its economic power but also a reflection of its people's quality and morality. Moreover, I think the latter is actually more important in the long-term.

    You're being more than a little generous with your generalisations there Bugsy.
    Having lived and worked in the FE for some time I realise that the vast majority of those people with whom I have come in contact and who also do not eat dairy produce, (mainly cheese actually rather than milk,) do so for cultural reasons rather than any lactose intolerance.
    Indeed many of them who have a deeper contact with occidentals have taken to eating 'fermented milkstuffs' with gusto.

    Shame really, those 1,255,000 people would have gone some way to supporting your anti-milk argument - had the claim held any water.

    Never mind Bugsy, they're only numbers, eh ?
    Apparently some moderators take themselves very, very seriously, and cannot abide posts such as:
    "If however you offer to moderate you may be a sanctimonious, unfunny pissflap to your heart's content."

    Some comments are allegedly "very very nasty and uncalled for."

    Show me actual figures, not just something you typed.

    And you didnt say if you had a beard by the way.

    Nope, never had a bad anything with a veggie, I dont socialize with veggies/hippies, if I found myself in the company of one, I would reduce them to tears by berating their very strange life choice, and then kill them for being a hippy veggie tw@ and feed them to a pig.

    Explain to me mr veggie, why your mouth has canine teeth, if it were not meant to eat meat! go on....

    I assume you know what the term canine is and regards to teath what they are for? and dont come back with, " for cutting lettuce"
    No, those figures aren't total balls. But if you wish to dispute them, then fine.

    I believe you’ll find that I did actually mention that I don’t have a beard. Oh well.

    So why do we humans have canines? Well, Mr Dead-flesh Scoffer, it's because all animals on this planet are descended from one master model. It's just that changes occurred over time that reflected environment and specific development of individual species. That's why horses, cows etc also have canines; it's just that they don't look like those of a carnivore. However, if, as you say, we're natural carnivores/omnivores, why aren't our canines long and pointed?

    Lack of refrigeration alone would tend to exclude dairy from most areas of SE Asia, or anywhere else that's hot/humid.
