Lactose intolerance isn't remotely the same thing as an allergy.

It's even funnier cause that area is white. But even if it weren't, idc

It is very much a race and culture thing across Midwest. Dairy and cows have a connection to being "white Americans" all the way back to Old West and cowboys. A huge number of them are lactose intolerant (native American genes) but insist and even put family pressure on anyone who tries to move away from cheese butter milk dairy etc ..

Is ice cream only popular across the western populace, or does it contain too less milk to cause much issues?
