Food is, like... really good and stuff

But I still like cheese. I cant remember the name of the enzyme - I think maybe Lactate? - that processes Lactose, but what if Lactose-intollerant people can train their bodies to begin producing the enzyme once more?

That would take centuries. Vegetarians and vegans can lose their ability to digest meat, but they can get the ability back.

Lactose intolerance has been studied as an aid in understanding ancient diets and population movement in prehistoric societies. Milking an animal vastly increases the calories that may be extracted from the animal as compared to the consumption of its meat alone. It is not surprising then, that consuming milk products became an important part of the agricultural way of life in the Neolithic. It is believed that most of the milk was used to make mature cheeses which are mostly lactose free.

Roman authors recorded that the people of northern Europe, particularly Britain and Germany drank unprocessed milk (as opposed to the Romans who made cheese). This corresponds very closely with modern European distributions of lactose intolerance, where the people of Britain, Germany and Scandinavia have a good tolerance, and those of southern Europe, especially Italy, have a poorer tolerance.

Fugitive Reviewed by Fugitive on 07-02-2008. Food is, like... really good and stuff ya know?? I love to like, smoke alot of really great weed and then go eat a whole bunch of different foods. And, like.. some things Ill cook and then put ketchup on.. but it used to be spelled "catsup." Which I think is just rediculous. Yup. Grazi is back in a classroom setting again. And he is bored.
