    Look, some people just can’t digest it. As you get older, your ability to process mac’n’cheese without dire intestinal consequences drops off substantially. The pros just simply aren’t worth the cons, not by a long shot.

    Doesn’t stop me tho

      As you get older, you develop taste and stop eating garbage.

            Lactose intolerance is more common than lactose tolerance globally. In the unites states, something like 1 in 3 people are lactose intolerant.

            It’s largely genetic. Lactose tolerance can be traced to nomadic tribes that kept milk producing animals as a food source, adapting to tolerate lactose in their diet over time.

                Of course it is with age. No mammals are born lactose intolerant. We drink milk as infants.

                Almost universally, all adult mammals become lactose intolerant. We humans are lucky for those of us who tolerant.

                  Sure, but I figured that lactose intolerance would typically manifest before the age of, say, 20. I didn’t realize that people could become lactose intolerant as seniors.
