So this “far off race”, or “obscure tribe/race” you deign to fob off as being unable to digest milk: these are only approximate figures of course and if you remember, I said it was South East Asia. Anyway: 1 billion Chinese, 100 million Japanese, 80 million Vietnamese, 60 million Thais, 15 million Cambodians. Will that do for a start?

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.

I believe he wrote omnivores rather than carnivores.

Oh, so he did !

Never mind Bugsy, they're only numbers, eh ?

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.

I know, hence why i edited my original post.

Again, show me actual figures on an actual site, not just some figures you type up here.

When has man, ever has long canine teeth? never, he was built with a mixture of teeth, to enable him to eat anything and everything, as already said many times, by many people.

Sorry mate, but cows do not have canine teeth, they have incisors and molars only.
They do have 32 teeth though in total.

Next fact you want to be explained?

IIRC because it is of similar build up to breast milk in vitamins, minerals and taste, but doesn't contain the high fat content of breast milk.

Cats are milk intolerant after weaning, there not to keen on vegatables either, just a thought.

Not any more! Christ, have none of you been in China since 1949? Fridges everywhere.

Bugsy where did you get your figures from - or did you draw them out of thin air to back-up your claims?

BTW, six more Chinese around here that like a Mc Donald's thick shake, that brings it down to 999,993

Possibly because we no longer need to tear it from the bones of a freshly slaughtered (or still kicking) Bambi ?

As if he would !

Bugsy isn't a vegetarian anyway, he's winding everyone up.

At least that's his usual excuse whenever he loses other discussions.
